Hi,<br />
<br />
currently in my office we use a d-link router.. we are small office only 6 users... I have a cisco 2600 and I would like to replace it with the d-link...<br />
<br />
I also have a Cable connection from my ISP (RJ45) and a 48 port unmanageable switch. The cisco comes with the built-in Eth0 and a T1 module.. I'm gonna guess that I wont benefit from the T1 module.<br />
<br />
what I wanna do is use the Cisco 2600 to assign ip (DHCP) which is possible, I also want to do port forwarding/Application Rule which I guess that this should also work. correct?<br />
<br />
my question is how would I use the cable connection (internet) on the Cisco? do I need to buy an Ethernet module for the Cisco and then connect eth0 to my switch and eth1 to my modem? will this even work?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

Cisco 2600 router Setup

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
