What type of cable used to connect the Ethernet interface on a switch to the Ethernet interface on a router?
To the switch the router is just another host, so it connects with a straight Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable.
Is a crossover cable needed to connect Host computers to the switch Why or why not?
Is a crossover cable needed to connect Host computers to the switch? Why or why not?
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.
What kind of cable is required to connect a host directly to a router Ethernet port?
You need a straight-through cable
Which cable is used to connect a host to a switch?
Staright
What type of cable is required to connect a host to a Cisco switch to initialize the configuration?
straight-through cable
What type of cable is used to connect a switch and router?
Current products will almost all connect with a standard Cat 5/5e/6 patch cable. Older (but still recent) products will either connect to a specific port on the switch (usually identified as an UPLINK) port, or require the use of a crossover cable. The issue is that ethernet sends and receives data on different pairs of wire. The newest generation of equipment is able to identify which wires to receive on, and which to transmit on, automatically. Older equipment is not as intelligent and always transmits/receives on the same wires. This requires either a specially wired port on the switch (that changes the position of the transmit and receive in the jack) or a specially wired cable (that changes the t/r wires) in the plug.
Defference between router and L3 switch?
A router can provide firewall protection, port forwarding, DSL login information and data encryption and a host of other features that a simple data switch cannot.
What type of utp cable is used to connect a host to a router for programming purposes?
There are several different cables that you can use for this process. They include a cross over cable or an uplink.
What is host ip number?
A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address. Typically a computer, but it may also be a printer, a switch, a router port.A "host IP number" is an IP number that can be assigned to a host. This excludes the first and last IP address of each network, which can't be assigned to hosts.A "host" is simply any point that has an IP address.

What is required on host A for a network technician to create the initial configuration on a router?
To create the initial configuration on a router from host A, the network technician must have access to a console cable connected from the router's console port to the serial port (or USB-to-serial adapter) on host A. Additionally, terminal emulation software (like PuTTY or Tera Term) is required to establish a connection with the router's command-line interface. Basic IP configuration may also be needed for network connectivity if the router is to be accessed over a network.
