Somewhere in your settings you will be able to configure router security.

Yes, in order to do this you would simply have to create a Layer 3 switch, if you are unfamiliar how to do this, click here

Note* if you are not Cisco certified, not experienced in configuring switches and routers from within the operating system, or do not have the necessary equipment or software, it is not recommended you attempt this, as it may cause permanent damage to your switch if the improper commands are entered and configured on the switch.

If you are unsure or do not feel comfortable creating a Layer 3 switch, have someone you know who is Cisco certified or a computer repair shop configure this for you.

Switches are not configurable they need a router to assign the port an IP address. Your router is the brains that allow internet access to your PC.

connect the router configure the settings give by the internet provider and configure the NAT then u can attach a switch if required and can access....

Physical Setup of a LinkSys Router Each model of LinkSys router will differ slightly, but the general design is similar across all models. Therefore, the setup is similar across all models.

1. Attach the antennas to the router (if your LinkSys router support wireless)d
2. Plug the Ethernet cable from your broadband Internet provider into the port labeled "Internet"
3. Plug another Ethernet cable into one of the available ports
4. Plug the other end of that same cable into an Ethernet port on your PC

LinkSys Router Configuration LinkSys routers now ship with a Setup Wizard which is intended to simplfy basic configuration tasks.
We do not recommend the LinkSys Setup Wizard for two reasons:

1. The Setup Wizard is not significantly easier that the regular configuration menus
2. If you use the Setup Wizard, you will end up learning two interfaces for your LikSys router instead of just one

Instead, we recommend simply starting your web browser and jumping into the configuration.
Once your web browser is open, go to the URL http://192.168.1.1/. This will take you to a popup box which asks you to enter a username and password.

Logging in to a LinkSys Router The username is either blank or "admin" and the default password is "admin".
Once you are past the login screen, you are able to access (and change) a plethora of configuration options for your router.
Don't be worried by the enormous number and variety of options, your LinkSys router ships with default settings that enable it to work right out of the box in most environments.
From here the configuration options that you choose are largely up to your own personal preference.
If this is a wireless router, we recommend that you consider setting an SSID to identify the router as your own and configuring WEP to encrypt your wireless traffic.

If you can't get the manament working initially I suggest the following

Setup a console connection
Type "enable" and press enter to access priveleged exec mode on the ASA
Type "config terminal" and press enter to access configuration mode
Type "configure factory-default" and press enter to load default settings.
Assign a static IP to your PC of 192.168.1.5 and try to browse to https://192.168.1.1 (PC is plugged into management interface)

You should be prompted to begin using ASDM

To configure your router to share your Internet service, please follow the steps below: 1. Check with your Internet Service Provider to make sure that service is active. You usually can determine a good link to the service if you can bypass the BEFW11S4, plug directly into the ISP modem unit, and get a good connection. 2. While plugged into your provider?s modem and able to get online, run the bundled Router Setup Wizard CD-ROM program that came with your router. This will configure the router automatically for you. 3. If the Setup Wizard CD-ROM from Step 2 fails to configure your router, you may need a manual configuration. While plugged into the provider modem unit and able to get online (Step 1), visit http://kb.linksys.com, and search for the name of your Internet service provider for detailed instructions on manual configurations. 4. Once one computer is able to access the Internet through the router, the router will then be configured. Other machines can now connect to the router without re-configuring it a second time. 5. If you are still having difficulties setting up your router, please contact Linksys Technical Support so that we may further assist you.
