All 5 of the ports work the same. To remember what cable I've got connected to what port, I like to use the switch's port 1 for the connection to the uplink router because it's easy to remember. If your in a tight spot and have trouble remembering what cable is plugged into what port, it's easy to remember that port 1 is next to the blue power light, something you can see even in the dark.
