Hi,<br />
<br />
I replaced my old wireless switch with the Cisco N900/EA4500 switch, and the computers that go straight into it works fine, as well as all the wireless junk I have attatched...<br />
<br />
However, I also have a few switches hooked up to it, and neither of them work... I obviously unplugged and re-plugged but to no avail... what am I doing wrong here?<br />
<br />
tnx<br />

N900/EA4500 Connecting a switch problem

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

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.
