I had 5-port switch which had Auto-uplink and Auto-detection, can I connect any port on the switch towards network side (to router)?., also do I have to use cross cable to connect on N/W side or straight cable?.
Also which cable I have to use to connect PC to switch?. Is it cross cable or straight cable?. How I will know which cable to use in above two cases (switch to router and switch to PC's)?. thanks.
