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.
IDS
VSAT is a layer 2 device.
Transport Layer
Using jumpers or rotary dials (or another type of switch) on the device itself
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.
you gain another layer of security.
A Switch is a Layer 2 device as they operate in the data link layer
layer of sand then a layer of activated charcoal then a layer of gravel.
There are no layer 1 switches; switches run at layer 2 or 3. A hub is a layer 1 device.
because one layer is the electrical part, and the other layer is the place where the switch is on.
