Actually, an IDS does not sit on one particular layer. It has to examine packets for protocols, how they are being transported, number of packets transmitted, spoofing information, and application layer information.

In general terms, Intrusion detection system and Intrusion prevention system is a Layer 4 device. It filters for malicious data.

Can a switch be used to connect two lans with different network ids?

Yes, a switch can be used to connect two LANs with different network IDs, but it requires some additional configuration. Typically, switches operate at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and do not route traffic between different network IDs. To enable communication between the two LANs, a router or a Layer 3 switch would be needed to handle the routing of packets between the different subnets.
