Ethernet backhaul: dedicated switch?

Do I have to use a dedicated switch to connect satellites back to the router, or will they find each other on a shared switch?

    Depends ...

    What kind of switch or switched network infrastructure?

    Which Orbi Pro system exactly?

      Model is SRR60

       

      We have ethernet jacks wired to each room, that go through one "central" switch.  So, can I plug a Satellite into a jack that feeds back to this switch? (And if so, do I plug into the yellow jack on the satellite?)
