interface
A data link/physical layer connection to a physical network transmission
medium. An interface includes media-specific driver software.
line

connector, slot, and media type. In a multiline circuit, one circuit uses multiple
lines for added bandwidth.
logical line
A logical path on a physical circuit. See line.
parameter
A Site Manager variable that defines a specific MIB attribute or a set of MIB
attributes. See attribute.
port
