Networking Experts comez inz Networking experts - please advice :-
I was wondering if it is possible to hook up several Cable Routers in this fashion :-
Router configuration - each router has 4 switched ports and 1 wan port
1) you take 3 or 4 cable routers
2) you firstly hook up node A by attaching 1 network cable to the router's wan port to the
cable modem - this is your only line to the internet
3) then you connect 2 additional nodes to node A by attaching node B and C's wan port to the switch port of Node A
4) and it goes on like this - Node E and F will have their wan ports attached to the switch ports of Node B
5) all the PC's on the network will subsequently attach to the switch ports of each node of the routers ...
in a way you can get multiple subnets in a network
Is this possible boh ???
Is this workable boh ???
What configuration must be done on each router's end ???
