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...
Shared resources such as a server can be used by all ports in the same VLAN as the server. In the following figure only ports that need access to the server need to be part of VLAN 1. Ports can belong to other VLAN groups too. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

Too much port flooding leads to network congestion. • If the Switch has already learned the port for this MAC address, but the destination port is the same as the port it came in on, then it filters the frame. GS-2750 User’s Guide...
This is the VLAN group to which this frame belongs. Port This is the port from which the above MAC address was learned. Type This shows whether the MAC address is dynamic (learned by the Switch) or static (manually entered in the Static MAC Forwarding screen). GS-2750 User’s Guide...
• If the Switch has already learned the port for this IP address, but the destination port is the same as the port it came in on, then it filters the packet. Figure 175 IP Table Flowchart GS-2750 User’s Guide...
This is the port from which the above IP address was learned. This field displays CPU to indicate the IP address belongs to the Switch. Type This shows whether the IP address is dynamic (learned by the Switch) or static (belonging to the Switch). GS-2750 User’s Guide...

Three scheduling services are supported: Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ), Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ). This allows the Switch to maintain separate queues for packets from each individual source or flow and prevent a source from monopolizing the bandwidth. GS-2750 User’s Guide...

The Switch can generate syslog messages and send it to a syslog server. Firmware Upgrade Download new firmware (when available) from the ZyXEL web site and use the web configurator, CLI or an FTP/TFTP tool to put it on the Switch.
Supports IEEE 802.3ad; static and dynamic (LACP) port trunking Aggregation Six groups (up to 8 ports each) Port mirroring All ports support port mirroring Support port mirroring per IP/TCP/UDP Bandwidth Supports rate limiting at 64K increment control 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. Table 132 Alternative Subnet Mask Notation ALTERNATIVE LAST OCTET LAST OCTET SUBNET MASK NOTATION (BINARY) (DECIMAL) 255.255.255.0 0000 0000 255.255.255.128 1000 0000 GS-2750 User’s Guide...
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...
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address; always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address assignment, please refer to RFC 1597, Address Allocation for Private Internets and RFC 1466, Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space. GS-2750 User’s Guide...
