The question is vague, but if you intend to use a Linux machine as a router you'll need multiple physical interfaces connected with your cat 5 or other cabling as well as all switches etc. set up and operating.
Step 2
Configure your connected ethernet interfaces (typically with ifconfig).
Step 3
Configure your routing table (typically with the route command or it's equivalent).
Step 4
Make any necessary changes to your routing host firewall (typically iptables or other).
Step 5
Enjoy the fruit of your labors.
NOTE: Much has intentionally be omitted from this answer because the question is too vague to justify a detailed response.
