Hi everyone, I was given a router and switch from my internship to practice learning, do labs, etc. The manager gave me a few things I could do such as upgrading the firmware of the switch via TFTP server which wasn’t too bad.

Now he mentioned to use the router as firewall with NAT or use it between your home router and the switch.

I’m unsure how to go about this and was looking for advice. I have googled but the results are overwhelming.

The switch is a cisco 2960x and router is a cisco 1841
