is there a port free on the uplink to the internet from the device given to you by the ISP? &nbsp;The way I'm seeing it is that you would need another port from them to accomplish this.

I have a cisco asa 5510 with 5 interfaces on it which are all being used. My goal is to setup a switch that is not connected to our lan but is exposed externally, so all I have to do is give a laptop or network device a public IP and I'm on the internet. How can I do this with all 5 interfaces being used?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
