Hello!<br />
<br />
I purchased a Dell PoweConnect 24 Port switch. <br />
<br />
I teamed 4 ports on the switch with the team on my server and now have 4GBPS on the internal switch.<br />
<br />
I am getting ready to connect it to the 2Wire 2701HG-G 4 Port Wireless DSL Router. <br />
<br />
The main server uses Remote Desktop/Terminal Server and my remote offices connect to the server through the router. <br />
<br />
I am wondering this:<br />
<br />
1. Should I connect 4 network cables from the 4 ports on the router to 4 ports on the switch and then team those 4 ports on the switch together?<br />
<br />
2. Is it even usefule to connect 4 network cables from the DSL Modem/Router to the 24 port switch?<br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
<br />
Jason

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.

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
