Clarifying switch use on a DS

I wanted to be clear regarding how a switch would function with the DS.

We have a DS that already has 1 ethernet port dead.

By plugging a switch into the DS port, would that allow us to connect both the programming computer AND the robot to the switch simultaneously, and still click the run button and watch the data feedback?

Up till now, we've had the switch, but we've been programming by directly connecting the CRIO to the computer. A bit of a pain in the neck.

Also, by the way - our ethernet port died while connected to the computer, not the robot. That got a big "what the heck" out of the rest of us
