Help!!! network setup

by nitobd . Updated 15 years, 10 months ago

Hi all,

It is my first time to setup a network and I am little confuse how my cable guy has setup the connection…

It’s a good network to have the following setup?
One room that have the router, server connected to a small switch (8 ports), and then have a one ethernet cable connected from the small switch to the main switch (48 ports) where all the clients will be connected.
I can’t have the main switch on the same room with router and server because of the all the cables of clients are being drop on the room where the main switch is, and the internet modem drop is on the same room where other equipments are, and I can move them where the main switch is because of the room condition (boiling and heater room)

Questions:
1. Is this a good setup? It won’t affect the traffic of users accessing the server and the internet coming from the router since all connection is coming from one cable?

Your answer will greatly appreciated.

Thanks
