Have you encountered such thing in packet tracer?

I have seen something foolish. Im not able to attach a server directly to the router. Thought the reason why
searched about it then i met you can close this gap by putting a switch between them. How stupid!

even more foolish is that you were probably trying to connect using a straight through cable rather than cross-over cable The reason the switch works is that you use a straigh through cable for both server to switch and router to switch connections. You require cross-over cable for switch to switch and router to router and also PC/Server to router.

 

You really should go back to basics. Your starting to make a mockery of the CCNA.

 

Anyone can say they have one ...

 

You are always pessimistic and i imagine you do this deliberately. No, i won't defend myself anymore cos
you are driving me crazy in such behaviours.

How dare would you imagine i do not know which cable to use for which connections?

 

Em, you're the one that said you needed a switch to connect the server to the router, which is not true (as long as you use a cross-over cable).

 

Are you starting to see yet Daniel?

 

please read my first post much carefully.

 

Why does anyone bother responding to this troll? You are wasting your time - move along and just ignore it.

 

No. Explain where i am misunderstanding you.

He mentions doing this in Packet Tracer rather than physically trying to connect server to a router....

 

It's not that i can't see he's hard/nigh on impossible to talk to. Would not let it annoy me though

 

I just checked with Packet Tracer v5.3 and I was able to get the server connected to an 1841 with a cross-over cable, it is more acceptable to have it go to a switch before the router but in a pinch for a lab it would work but wouldn't be good for a real-world situation.

Yes, but alot of companies plug a firewall straight into the router, and then the firewall has a trunk connection to the switches, so you would come accross quite often. I do
