An Ethernet port connection that allows networked end stations (i.e.,| * | | PCs or workstations) to connect to each other using a null-modem, or crossover, cable. | * +--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * | MIB | Management Information Base. The MIB comprises the management portion of network devices. This can include | * | | monitoring traffic levels and faults (statistical), and can also change operating parameters in network nodes | * | | (static forwarding addresses). | * +--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ * | MII | Media Independent Interface.
