  • Page 29: Getting To Know Your Switch

    This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the switch. 1.1 Introduction The GS-2024 is a stand-alone layer-2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with 24 100/1000Mbps ports and two mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots for optical uplinking and one console port and RJ-45 port for local management.
  • Page 30: Port Mirroring

    GS-2024 User’s Guide Queuing Queuing is used to help solve performance degradation when there is network congestion. Two scheduling services are supported: Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) and Weighted Round Robin Scheduling (WRR). This allows the switch to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the bandwidth.
  • Page 31: Hardware Features

    GS-2024 User’s Guide Port Authentication and Security For security, the switch allows authentication using IEEE 802.1x with an external RADIUS server and port security that allows only packets with dynamically learned MAC addresses and/or configured static MAC addresses to pass through a port on the switch.
  • Page 32: Applications

    GS-2024 User’s Guide Fans The fans cool the switch sufficiently to allow reliable operation of the switch in even poorly ventilated rooms or basements. 1.4 Applications This section shows a few examples of using the switch in various network environments.
  • Page 33: High Performance Switched Example

    GS-2024 User’s Guide Figure 2 Bridging Application 1.4.3 High Performance Switched Example The switch is ideal for connecting two networks that need high bandwidth. In the following example, use trunking to connect these two networks. Switching to higher-speed LANs such as ATM (Asynchronous Transmission Mode) is not feasible for most people due to the expense of replacing all existing Ethernet cables and adapter cards, restructuring your network and complex maintenance.
  • Page 34: Tag-Based Vlan Example

    GS-2024 User’s Guide A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one group. A station can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a station cannot directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through a router.

    GS-2024 User’s Guide H A P T E R Spanning Tree Protocol This chapter introduces the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). 10.1 Overview STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network.
  • Page 94: How Stp Works

    GS-2024 User’s Guide 10.1.2 How STP Works After a bridge determines the lowest cost-spanning tree with STP, it enables the root port and the ports that are the designated ports for connected LANs, and disables all other ports that participate in STP. Network packets are therefore only forwarded between enabled ports, eliminating any possible network loops.

Similarly to divide a class “C” address into four subnets, you need to “borrow” two host ID bits to give four possible combinations of 00, 01, 10 and 11. The subnet mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192.
