I have 2 catalyst 2960 24ports switches I'm trying to build a small local network with (for curiosity purposes). All ports are enabled full duplex on a single vlan, both switches have their own ip:
10.5.10.100 255.255.255.0 class c
10.5.10.101 255.255.255.0 class c
If I connect two computers using a single switch they can ping each other, but if I connect one pc to a switch and the other to the other switch and connect those switches with a cable (same ports, tried both rj and gbic fibers) theres no longer communication between the two pc's.
Feels like I'm missing something, any ideas? Will I have to use a router or nah?
