Network Aggregation Plan
With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., distinct collision domains), this switch
can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are providing 1 Gbps
connectivity through cascaded switches. In addition, the switches are also
connecting several servers at 1 Gbps.
