Cascade
Topology
Connecting two similar networking devices together is called “cascading.”
Figure 5 illustrates this topology where Port 19 on the AT-FS724L switch is
connected to Port 16 on the AT-FS716 switch. Since the ports are
configured as auto MDI/MDI-X, a crossover or straight-through Category 5
or better twisted-pair cable can be used in any of the ports.
