tHow do I know which ethernet ports are for input and which are for output?

There are five ethernet ports only numbered 1 through 5.

Any  and all replies highly desired.  Regards, Aaron

   Ethernet ports are bidirectional; there are no "inputs" or "outputs".
On an unmanaged switch like a (plain) GS105, all the ports are
equivalent.
