Chasses connected through a switch

Multiple chasses can be connected together through a switch, using their Network
Uplink ports as shown in Figure 4-2. This has the advantage of obtaining better
data transfer rates, and avoiding the bottleneck that may occur if large volumes of
data are passed between chasses connected in series.
