I am pretty new to the wonderful world of Cisco IOS, and I could use a little help.
I recently bought a Cisco router ( and I would like it to be my home gateway. Cable Modem on one side, home network on other, including Server 2008.
My main question is this: I have three ports to my router, the console, the aux, and 1 fast ethernet port. How can the router route anything with only 1 eth port? Do I use the aux for the other "side"? What do I need to do to be able to get this to work? I do have a Cisco 2650 switch if that helps (for VLAN possibly?), though I'm not sure how to configure that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
