Stupid question but im confused.

in CCNA & CCENT
In the following diagram, How am I suppose to connect the three devices off ethernet. Am I suppose to use a switch coming off the routers ethernet( I'm sure a switch would of been in the diagram if that was the case) or am I suppose to connect a few ethernet interfaces to the router or am I suppose to do subinerfaces of the ethernet so I can connect the three devices. This is a frame relay lab out of the cisco press book ICND book that im trying to complete but this is just confusing me a little. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you would use a switch if you don't have three ethernet ports on your routers. If you don't have a switch, you can make some loopbacks to simulate the PC's.

The routers in the pic are connected to a frame relay cloud with serial interfaces. Read up on Frame Relay to understand this. -
