Hi,
I want to reconfigure this to simply have an ethernet connection to my broadband router on Port 1 & to enable a device connected via Port 9 to use internet.
I say via Port 9, because I do have a Etheregen (fiber to rj45 ethernet switch) device connected directly to Port 9 via fiber ethernet & then a Mac Mini connected to the Etheregen via RJ45 ethernet. I don't know if this makes a difference. I doubt it.
Best wishes,
Jason
Solved! Go to solution.
Can you explain it better, please?

Thank you for your response alemabrahao.
How can I best do this?
Well, this is pure L2 communication, if your router has an active DHCP server and is configured on the same LAN as your Mac Mini, I don't see why it won't work.
I still don't understand what the question here is.
Broadband router connected to port 1. Mac Mini connected to port 9 (via a fiber to ethernet converter).
It's all good now, thanks. I was over-complicating things...
