In a few days I will be rewiring our patch panel (going with a new Panduit 48 space), adding another 10-15 cable runs, and with that move I will be changing out our current Dell 2824 switch for a new Dell 2848 switch. (and redoing all the patch cables along the way and using a Panduit cable management system as well)
Everything I have read said that since they are both in unmanaged mode all I really need to do is connect the Cat cable from the modem into port 1 on the switch, and then plug the rest of the cables from the patch panel into the other ports on the switch.
Is that all correct? Ive never done this before, just a little nervous.
Ill be happy to provide pictures of before, during, and after when I am all done.
