    These are slots for mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The switch does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the SFP Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA).

  • Page 23: Figure 7 Transceiver Installation Example

    Figure 7 Transceiver Installation Example 2 Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place. 3 The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning properly. Figure 8 Installed Transceiver 3.1.3.2 Transceiver Removal Use the following steps to remove a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).

  • Page 31: Appendix B Ip Addresses And Subnetting

    P P E N D I X IP Addresses and Subnetting This appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network.

  • Page 32: Figure 12 Network Number And Host Id

    Appendix B IP Addresses and Subnetting Figure 12 Network Number and Host ID How much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet Masks A subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation).

  • Page 33: Table 6 Subnet Masks

    Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Table 6 Subnet Masks BINARY OCTET 8-bit mask 11111111 16-bit mask 11111111 24-bit mask 11111111...

In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.

  • Page 35: Figure 14 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting

    Figure 14 Subnetting Example: After Subnetting In a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 2 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet’s address itself, all ones is the subnet’s broadcast address).

  • Page 38: Configuring Ip Addresses

    You must also enable Network Address Translation (NAT) on the switch. Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address for your switch that is easy to remember (for instance, 192.168.1.1) but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
