How can you get two separate ethernet plug-ins to 1 router if you only jave 2 ethernet plug-in?
If you don't have enough ethernet sockets in a router, you can plug a switch or a hub into the socket. The hub or switch will supply support for additional ethernet cables.
Can you connect two Ethernet switches to a third Ethernet switch?
Yes, more than one Ethernet switch be connected to a network. Typically care must be taken as not to create loops in one's network.
What does the term port density represent for an Ethernet switch?

How does an Ethernet switch work?
Ethernet switches, both unmanaged and managed, avoid collisions by routing the messages in an Ethernet network to only the intended devices. When a switch receives an Ethernet message (packet), it reads the address of the device for which the message is intended, and then transmits the message out of only the port to which that device is connected (even if it is connected through several other switches). When the switch gets the first bit of information from the first device, such as your computer, it reads the MAC address of that device. The MAC address is the media access control number. This number is an ID number that is assigned to most network adapters and is preset by the manufacturer. Once this number is read, it is recorded in memory by the switch. Next, the switch attempts to look for any other devices on the network by sending out packet requests of information. Once another device gets this packet, it sends out a signal to the switch to acknowledge the request. Now the MAC address of this device is recorded. Each time these packets are sent, the information is "time stamped." The switch then works to filter this information that is communicated among all of the devices. The switch has enough memory to retain this information. Industrial applications of Ethernet (called industrial Ethernet) require special Ethernet switches that have industrial ratings for noise immunity, shock, vibration and temperature in a wide range of form factors with multiple options for copper and fiber connectivity. See link below for examples of industrial Ethernet Switches from Phoenix Contact.
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 an Ethernet switch and where does it fit into the OSI model?
Ethernet switch fits on osi physical layer
No, Most routers are specific to your internet provider. If your going to hard wire connections with cable from your existing router, you need an Ethernet switch. If you are adding closer wireless con?
No, Most routers are specific to your internet provider. If your going to hard wire connections with cable from your existing router, you need an Ethernet switch. If you are adding closer wireless connection, that would be a wireless access point.
What is an ethernet switch expansion slot?
expands the amount of Ethernet cables you can have.
How many ethernet or fast ethernet interfaces does the switch have?
kill urself

What characteristic to an Ethernet network using hubs does using an Ethernet switch minimize or avoid?
Collisions
Can you connect two Ethernet switches to a third Ethernet switch?
Yes, more than one Ethernet switch be connected to a network. Typically care must be taken as not to create loops in one's network.
How you can connect switch with fiber optic cable?
I will explain to you properly how you can connect the switch with a fibre optic cable. The ethernet switch provides the all network connection to the fibre optic cable so the ethernet cable plugs into one of the output ethernet ports on the switch provided by the fibre network.
Can a Ethernet cable connect a computers to switch?
yes
How do I switch my Ethernet internet link to my USB modem so I can use my Ethernet for different hookup?
put a usb in your laptop and transfer your ethernet file to the usb then place it where ever you want to have ethernet
What does the term port density represent for an Ethernet switch?

Which network technologies don not use a circuit switch?
Ethernet
