Static IPs through router as switch with Ubuntu Server
So I have an router and network setup and running fine. port forwarding and static ip is working just fine on my Ubuntu server box, but the ports are full and I need to run the box off a switch now. So I took an old netgear router and set it up as a switch (dynamic ip windows10 pc running through switch fine) but my Server box just won't connect, the light on the router doesn't even light up to say they are communicating. (all the cabling and ports are fine) I am assuming it has something to do with the static ip address, I have added a static route (I also do not know for sure if I am fililng it out right / even if this is something I need to be doing) the set up for the static route has the destination ip set the the ip i am trying to make static and subnet is 255 for all then gateway is the gateway ip and i used metric of 2. thanks for any help.Solved
