Hi All,
The Issue:
OK so the issue...I think...is probably one with a very simple solution. I would like to use a 12 switch patch port to act as a hub with a TalkTalk router to network some PC's together. However I really am unsure in what way to do this.
Tried and Tested:
We are using TalkTalk business fibre line so have the OpenReach Box plugged into a Typical TalkTalk router.
I also have a Cat 5e 12 port Patch Panel yet I have no idea how to wire this to network the computers together.
First thing I tried was to plug the router into port one of the patch panel and then used ports 2 onwards to wire into the PC's. That was a no go. I have also tried pairing the pairs I.e. Internet line into port 1 and then cable out from port 7 on the patch panel. In all honestly I have no idea what im doing here so any advice would be greatful.
We do also have access to a Cisco Systems Switching Port - Catalyst 2930 series.
As I have no idea what the Patch Panel is called I have attached an internet photo of what it looks like.
Thanks in Advance
Ronan
