Network Aggregation Plan
With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), this switch or a
stack of switches can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient
bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100BASE-TX ports in the stack are providing 100 Mbps
connectivity through other layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting
several servers at 1 Gbps.
