    Switch. 1.1 Introduction The GS-2750 is a stand-alone layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch. It comes with 44 10/100/ 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, 4 Dual Personality interfaces (each consisting of one RJ-45 Gigabit port and one slot for a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time) and two mini-GBIC transceivers for fiber-optic uplink connections.

    Within the headquarters network, a company can use trunking to group several physical ports into one logical higher-capacity link. Trunking can be used with copper cabling over relatively shorter distances than fiber-optic connections. Figure 2 High Performance Switching 1 Gbps Trunk Branch GS-2750 User’s Guide...

    Therefore, each octet has a possible range of 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal. The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

    Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a “1” value). For example, an “8-bit mask” means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

    For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128. The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations.

    The “borrowed” host ID bit can have a value of either 0 or 1, allowing two subnets; 192.168.1.0 /25 and 192.168.1.128 /25. The following figure shows the company network after subnetting. There are now two sub- networks, A and B. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

    Similarly, use a 27-bit mask to create eight subnets (000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111). The following table shows IP address last octet values for each subnet. Table 137 Eight Subnets SUBNET LAST BROADCAST SUBNET FIRST ADDRESS ADDRESS ADDRESS ADDRESS GS-2750 User’s Guide...
