Hi All,
please tell me what type of cable is exactly required for connecting a Router's Ethernet port to a Switch's Ethernet port.....
I found on some discussions and forums on other sites that Cross Over cable is required....BUT
I am using a 2621 Router with a D-Link switch and I am connecting it with a Straight-through cable and it is working fine....
this straight cable can also connect a PC to Switch...
please guide.
Thanks in advance
