Hook a LAN port of the Cisco to a LAN port on the Linksys. See if you can leave DHCP ON for the Cisco box. That will allow you to get it a different subnet than the home network and should provide adequate isolation.

You can also try hooking up the WAN port of the Cisco to a LAN port on the Linksys. That will also very much isolate it and you should also be able to get internet by configuring the WAN setup properly. I have not tried this (I have tried the above with a static IP address).

Hi,<br />
<br />
I just purchased a Cisco 2610 to study for the CCNA and I would to connect it to my Linksys home router so that all the lab machines sitting one 2610 will not affect my families internet. I would like to have 2 networks having them isolated but at the same time I would like my 2610 to be able to access the internet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to configure my Cisco 2610 router to my Linksys WRT55 home router

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.

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.

Switches / Hubs

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
