1181717 2011-02-27 05:00:00 To connect a ethernet switch to a router do I just run a ethernet cable from one of the routers ethernet ports to the switch's uplink port? If I do this will each port on the switch be assigned an IP just like they where plugged straight into a router? icow (15313)
1181718 2011-02-27 05:04:00 just plug it into one of the normal ports, you may need a crossover cable depending on the switch/router. Alex B (15479)

If I do this will each port on the switch be assigned an IP just like they where plugged straight into a router? Basically Yes - The router will still be issuing the different IP address's not the Switch. wainuitech (129)
