Lets say you want to set up a small, high quality LAN. Is it possible to connect a Cisco 1900 or 2900 series Catalyst switch to a, say, Linksys DSL modem. I'd like a 12 port 10/100 Catalyst with 2 1000 meg high speed interfaces, run my server on the high speed, run the workstations on the 10/100 then connect the uplink to a Linksys DSL router, then get a higher end DSL connection. But, I dont know if its possible to connect a 1900 / 2900 Catalyst to a DSL router or not. Does anyone have any info on this, or any ideas?
Thanks,
