i have 3 switches (S1,S2 and S3). A router and a NVR.
i am trying to connect NVR to LAN. at the moment NVR seting is done without LAN connection.
so, laid a cable from my router to S1. and then i used another cable to connect S1 and S2.
and another cable to link S1 and S3. so, basically 2 cables going out from S1. 1 to S2 and 1 to S3.
Router -------> S1
S1 ------------> S2
S1 ------------> S3
S3-------------> NVR
Router IP is 192.168.18.1
NVR IP is 192.168.18.2
after connecting like this i am not able to router or NVR or internet. i thing a loop is being created because of the way i am connecting these switches.
can anyone help?
