Protocols used to connect switches to routers in computer networks

[David24]

Hi all,

I'm rather new to computer networks. What are some well-known protocols to connect routers to switches in computer networks, please?

Ethernet.

Aha, so it's done through the Ethernet cable. I had that in mind but wasn't sure. Thanks.

The answer was intentionally short/obvious, but also accurate (there are a bunch more). It seemed like homework to me. Depends on what you're trying to do.

Also you can transport or abstract Ethernet over any medium, like powerline adapters.
