program cisco 2950 ethernet port 1 is a uplink instead of gigabit ports
I have a cisco 2950 with 24 ports and 2 gigabit ports. I also have a DSL router with 4 ethernet port. I want to program port 1 to be a uplink for the remaining 23 ports will (with computers hooked into them). The router doesn't have gigabit ports. So how do i program the switch so the remaining 23 ports have internet access, dhcp and dns through ethernet port 1 (10/100 port) where the dsl will be hooked into. As a reminder i can't use the 2 gigabit uplink ports.

Most 4 pair crossover cables have 2 pairs crossed but the other two straight through. If you use this on a gigabit network port it wont work regardless of what the other end is connected to. It does not matter on a 100Mbps port though.
4-pair crossover will work, but just needs more work on making one. wasn't sure Fubyou wanted to do 4-pair while 2-pair will work. :)
That's what I thought. It sounded like the implication was that it WOULDN'T work. :-)

whatever certified crossover cable i can by from the electronics place. 4 or 2 doesn't matter. Not unless their is effceincy or connection issues (forgive me for my spelling), know of any?
no connectioni issues, 2 or 4 pair twisted crossover, just as long it's a crossover of 2 or 4.
