Why does the switch between Host and the router not require configuration with an IP address to forward packets?

If a switch is connected to a router then the MAC address of the router is known to the switch through that port. A host takes advantage of this by using the default gateway address (the address of the router) which the switch "knows" by its lookup table. Therefore, the switch can learn the address automatically and no configuration is necessary.

One computer is often designated as the "Server", a central point to hold the programs and data for the other computers (clients) to use. INTERNET --> MODEM--> ROUTER --> SWITCH --> SERVER --> COMPUTERS (In some cases, the router can also serve as the switch as well).
