Increasing the Number of End-User Systems
A single PC is attached to the router by using an Ethernet crossover cable.
The router can support differing numbers of end-user systems, depending on the
functions that are enabled and traffic loading. Typical configurations provide support for
up to 32, 64, or 256 hosts (end-user systems).
To increase the number of PCs, connect all PCs to an Ethernet hub using a
straight-through cable. The number of end-user systems can be increased with the use
of subnets utilizing static addressing or by using a default gateway connection.
