Network Aggregation Plan
With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the
SMC6824MPE switch can collapse a complex network down into a single
efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the switch are
providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments. In addition, the
SMC6824MPE switch is also connecting to a server at 1000 Mbps.
