Re: need solution for internet connection  

It is not normal to connect to the Internet using a switch. You would normally use something like an ADSL 2+ firewall and router device like a Cisco 837. Many companies make company edge devices today.

Inside this device you can use a switch to distribute your lan around the organisation. If necessary you can have many switches and these can be either managed or unmanaged switches.

regards, Mark
