Question:
jump server.
Answer:
A hardened server that provides access to other hosts.
Question:
kerberos.
Answer:
Single sign-on authentication and authorization service that is based on a time-sensitive ticket-
granting system.
Question:
latency.
Answer:
The time it takes for a signal to reach the recipient.
Question:
layer 3 switch.
Answer:
Switch appliance capable of IP routing between virtual LAN (VLAN) subnets using
hardware-optimized path selection and forwarding.
,Question:
least privilege.
Answer:
Basic principle of security stating that something should be allocated the minimum necessary rights,
privileges, or information to perform its role.
Question:
lifecycle roadmap.
Answer:
Method to track the lifecycle phases of one or more hardware, service, or software systems in your
organization.
Question:
lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP).
Answer:
Network protocol used to access network directory databases, which store information about
authorized users and their privileges.
Question:
link layer discovery protocol (LLDP).
Answer:
Standards-based protocol used by network appliances to discover layer 2 adjacent devices or
neighbors.
Question:
link local.
Answer:
IP addressing scheme used within the scope of a single broadcast domain only.
,Question:
link state.
Answer:
Algorithm used by routing protocols that builds a complete network topology to use to select
optimum forwarding paths.
Question:
load balancer.
Answer:
Type of switch, router, or software that distributes client requests between different resources, such
as communications links or similarly configured servers.
Question:
local area network (LAN).
Answer:
Network scope restricted to a single geographic location and owned/managed by a single
organization.
Question:
local connector (LC).
Answer:
Small form factor push-pull fiber optic connector; available in simplex and duplex versions.
Question:
logging level.
Answer:
, Threshold for storing or forwarding an event message based on its severity index or value. Also
referred to as the severity level.
Question:
long term evolution (LTE).
Answer:
Packet data communications specification providing an upgrade path for 2G and 3G cellular
networks. LTE services use a SIM card to identify the subscriber and network provider. LTE
Advanced is designed to provide 4G standard network access.
Question:
loopback address.
Answer:
IP address by which a host can address itself over any available interface.
Question:
mac address table.
Answer:
Data store on a switch that keeps track of the MAC addresses associated with each port. As the
switch uses a type of memory called content addressable memory (CAM), this is sometimes called
the CAM table.
Question:
mac filtering.
Answer:
Applying an access control list to a switch or access point so that only clients with approved MAC
addresses can connect to it.
