I am trying to connect a number of switches and routers to one 2950 switch

(this is for administration purposes)Should I connect the ethernet port of the 2950 switch to the console port of the other switches/routers or will this not work? Or is it that I can only connect ethernet ports to other ethernet ports….Because I want to able to manage them without a need for a manual or automatic kvm serial port switch.

What is the best physical /logical configuration way to administer them; all at once using telnet ip/hostnames from a central switch?

I am not very experienced in this administrative design( its a cisco ccna lab for study purposes)…i access the main switch by hyperterminal directly from console. MOST OF MY WORK IS DONE REMOTELY over the internet through a REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION pc … so I dont have physical access to the devices(routers/switches).

thanks
