Connecting an External Ethernet Switch

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.)
