Network Switch

I was looking through the QA and rules and I can't find many rules regarding the use of network switches. Does anyone know about whether is has been permissible in the past to use switches? I feel like this must have been brought up before, but if it hasn't, I will QA it.

The only relevant rule I have found is
Quote:
R47 The DAP-1522 Wireless Bridge must be connected to the roboRIO Ethernet port (either directly or via a CAT5 Ethernet pigtail).
As long as the roboRIO is attached directly to the bridge, is it ok to use a netgear (or any other brand) network switch provided it complies with all other rules regarding power?
