1G Switch with Cable Modem and 10/100 Router
I want to put a 1G switch between my media server and my media center. Both systems have 1G network cards. I also want to have them "routed" into my cable modem, which is also supplying the rest of the systems on my network. I have Cat5 installed in 2002, so it should be okay.
I am not sure of the topology of the wiring.
1. Do I attach the cable modem to my Netgear 1000Mbps swich or to the Linksys 10/1000 router?
2. How are the two devices hooked together so that I have 1000Mbps between the 2 systems, but make sure they are connected the other systems and the internet?
