The answer is yes. If you need more information, please be more specific on what it is you're trying to do.

Yes. Generally you plug your internet connection into the router, then an ethernet wire from the router to the switch. More than likely, depending on what set-up you previously had, your going to have to change your tcp/ip settings. I could probably guess what set-up you have... but you'll have to be more specific before we can give more advice.

Modem Router?

A modem connects your computer to the Internet. A router takes the Internet signal and splits it up and distributes it to other computers on your network. There are two types of routers, wired and wireless. A wired modem router uses a cat5 cable to connect to the modem and to connect to each computer on the network. A wireless router uses wires to connect to the modem but connects to each computer on the network without wires.


What connecting device do you use for a small LAN for two or more connected networks?

For a small LAN network, a switch is best. To connect two or more LAN networks, a router is required. (2) From Jean Andrews CompTIA A+ sixth edition (page #852): You can use a crossover cable to connect to computers without a switch or hub making it the simplest network of all. For two or more you will need a switch, hub, or router.

What is a WAP key on your PSP?

It's not really something to do with the PSP, the WAP key is your wireless router's 'password'. For a PSP to connect to a router, just like your own computer does, you need to know the SSID of the network, and the security passcode. Just enter the same settings as your own computer uses, and the PSP can then connect to your wireless network.

Difference between core switch and normal swtich?

hi this is kittu 23 18 26 What are core and edge switches and why should you care? A core switch is a backbone device, a switch that is central to your network's successful operation. You use it to connect to servers, your Internet service provider (ISP) via a router, and to aggregate all switches that your company uses to connect crucial pieces of equipment that your company can't afford to lose to downtime. As a result, your core switch should always be a fast, full-featured managed switch. edge switches, on the other hand, connect client devices, such as laptops, desktops, security cameras, and wireless access points, to your network. For this reason, edge switches generally are considered less crucial than core switches to a network's smooth operation. If there are areas of the office such as a conference room where you don't need the features of a fully managed switch, your company can save some money by installing smart switches, such as the Cisco 200 Series, or even unmanaged switches for use at the edges of your network.

How do you set default root in a router by using dynamic routing?

If the network uses the RIP protocol, router A will determine that all paths have equal cost. If the network uses the RIP protocol, router A will update only the A-C-E path in its routing table. If the network uses the EIGRP routing protocol, router A will determine that path A-D-E has the lowest cost. If both RIP and EIGRP protocols are configured on router A, the router will use the route information that is learned by the RIP routing protocol.
