Network setup based on Nighthawk X10
Hello! I want to setup my network. But I found something that I'm not sure about. In this config: Netgear X10 connected to Netgear Managed Switch XS708E, and to this managed switch I want to connect...

Sure. Why not? A tree of network switches serves to connect
multiple devices. It does not determine how those devices are
configured.
As usual, it might help if you would explain what you actually want
to accomplish (or the actual problem which you wish to solve), rather
than asking an abstract question which may be based on some fundamental
misconception.

Thank you!
And what I want to do: I want to asign static IPs to all LAN devices. And to avoid many cables per room I'm going to use rack mounted managed switch and patch panel with 1 cable per room. In each room unmanaged switch from Asus to give all 8 possible clients per room 1 Gbps connection to the rack mounted RAID 5 NAS. :)

Adding network switches should not affect that plan.
Do you mean true static addresses, or reserved dynamic addresses?
(I'm just curious. Network switches shouldn't matter either way.)

"Asus"?
