Network Aggregation Plan
When used in standalone mode, this switch provides 52 parallel bridging
ports (i.e., 52 distinct collision domains), which can be used to collapse a
complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
When up to four switch units are stacked together, they form a single
"virtual" switch containing up to 200 ports. The whole stack can be managed
through the Master unit using a single IP address.
In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports are providing
100 Mbps connectivity through stackable switches. In addition, the switches
are also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
