You'll have to give me more information than that. When I connect Ethernet switches, I simply take a CAT 5 cable, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, and join the two switches. There's nothing special about them. Now, if you're talking about a pair of routers, that's a different problem. |

I agree with Perito on this one.
Another good thing to have in mind is to know what type of switches you have, and what is the purpose of connecting/uplinking two switches. When two switches are connected together with a straight-thru cable then one end must crossover (regular port) and one end must not (uplink port). If a crossover cable is used to connect them, then the ports at both ends must be the same kind of port. If a straight-thru cable is used to connect them, then the ports must be different. A PC can be connected to an uplink port with a crossover cable and to a regular port with a straight-thru cable. Also, be aware that many hubs/switches share the uplink port with one of the regular ports, usually port 1. Both ports will not work if they are both connected at the same time. Finally, many hubs and switches have a switch associated with the uplink port that can switch the port between uplink and regular port configurations. |
