Network Aggregation Plan

With 24 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 24 distinct collision domains), the switch can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

In the figure below, the SFP 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.
