For a 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet port that supports MDI/MDIX autosensing, you can use either a
straight-through cable or a crossover cable to connect the port to a hub or LAN switch.
To connect an Ethernet cable:
1. Connect one end of the cable to an Ethernet port on the router, as shown in
and Figure
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the peer device.

Interface numbering
The router's fixed Ethernet ports are numbered as follows:
• The two fixed WAN ports are numbered Ethernet 0/0 and Ethernet 0/1.
The four fixed Ethernet LAN ports are numbered Ethernet 0/1, Ethernet 0/2, Ethernet 0/3, and
•
Ethernet 0/4.
This follows the router's numbering convention interface-type X/Y, where:
interface-type is the type of interface, such as serial, asynchronous, or Ethernet.
•
• X is the number of the slot where the interface module is installed. All ports on an interface
module have the same slot number.
Y is the sequence number of an interface on an interface module. As you face the interface
•
module, the module's interfaces are numbered from left to right in ascending order, starting at 0.
21.
