Network Aggregation Plan
With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the
SMC6128L2 switch 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 are providing 100 Mbps
connectivity through layer 2 switches. In addition, the switch is also
connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
