The Simple Network Management Protocol, or SNMP (English Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol for the application layer that facilitates the exchange of management information between network devices. It allows administrators to monitor network performance, find and solve problems, and plan for growth. In an attempt to explain in a simple way, we could imagine that instala card using SNMP to monitor a UPS on a network.

SFP transceiver, English small form-factor pluggable transceiver (in Spanish transceiver small form factor pluggable) or, in English, SFP transceiver and abbreviated known as SFP, it is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for data communications applications and telecommunications. They are designed to support SONET, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and other common standardsications.

Gbps (Gb/s, Gbit/s) is the speed with which information is transmitted. It is normally used to measure the speed information in the ADSL/fiber addresses transmitted.

• 1 Gb/s is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 b/s.
• 1 Gb/s is equivalent to 1000000 kb/s.
• 1Gb/s equals 1000 Mb/s.

When we talk about RJ45 ("Registered Jack" 45) we refer to a telecommunications network interface for wired connection of voice and data equipment.

This connector has 8 pins or connections and may have a specific category depending on the data transfer speed and bandwidth (category 5e, 6, etc.)

The common application is their use in Ethernet network cables under TIA/EIA-568-B standard that defines the arrangement of pins (pinout), but can also be used for other applications.
