Cisco 810 Series

Step 3 (Optional) Connect additional servers, PCs, or workstations to the other Ethernet switch ports.

Note Use the Cisco Configuration Express to configure the Internet connection settings. See Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide for more information.

Connecting an External Ethernet Switch

If more than four PCs in an office must be connected to each other, you can add Ethernet connections to the router by connecting an external Ethernet switch to the Ethernet switch on the router.

To connect an external Ethernet switch to an Ethernet switch port on the router, perform these steps:

Step 1 Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to an Ethernet switch port on the router. (See Figure 3-2.)
