Network Aggregation Plan
With 16 or 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 16 or 24 distinct collision domains), the
switch can collapse a small network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity
through layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at
1000 Mbps.
