How do I connect two buildings to the same network?
The best way to connect your two buildings is with fiber-optic cable and a transceiver at each end. If that brings costs over budget, a good second choice is Category 5 cable with a Category 5 protector at each end.
How do I setup a VLAN network?
To create VLAN interfaces:
- Determine the IP addresses that you want to assign to the VLAN interfaces on the switch.
- Open a web browser.
- In the browser address field, type the IP address of the smart switch.
- Type the password in the Password field.
- Click the Login button.
- Select Routing>IP>IP Configuration.
What is the maximum distance for fiber optic cable?
Typical transmission speed and distance limits are 100 Mbit/s for distances up to 2 km (100BASE-FX), 1 Gbit/s up to 1000 m, and 10 Gbit/s up to 550 m. Because of its high capacity and reliability, multi-mode optical fiber generally is used for backbone applications in buildings.
How are two VLANs connected to one another?
Port 1 to 3 on the first switch and Port 1 on the second switch can be plugged into the same VLAN together. However, this requires the switches to be connected to each other via two cables – a different connection for each VLAN. This type of connection is known as trunking.
What should the IP address of a VLAN be?
The IP address of the network for each VLAN should be listed as C – Connected. Then also a path or default route to your upstream router. We can use basic ping commands from a client to help test where connectivity is dropping off at. By doing this we can narrow down where in the network to start troubleshooting.
What kind of technology does a VLAN use?
Virtualisation operates with memories, computing power, software and network technology: VLAN describes a virtual, purely logical network based on an actual physical network. How does a virtual LAN work? What is a VLAN? The basics, explained! What is a VLAN? The basics, explained!
How to configure intervlan routing on Layer 3 Cisco switches?
If you need information on how to configure VLANs, access ports, and trunking on the 3550, refer to Creating Ethernet VLANs on Catalyst Switches for the specific Cisco IOS version you run on the switch. The information in this document is based on a Catalyst 3550-48 that runs Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2 (44)SE6 EMI.
