Network Aggregation Plan
With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), a switch stack 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 in a stack of SF-2420GX switches
are providing 1000 Mbps connectivity through other switches. In addition, the
switches are also connecting several servers at 10 Gbps.
