Network Aggregation Plan

When used in standalone mode, the MIL-SM4804G provides 52 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 52 distinct collision domains), which can be used to collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

You can stack up to four MIL-SM4804G switch units together, forming a single “virtual” switch containing up to 200 ports. The whole stack can be managed through the Master unit using a single IP address.

In the figure below, the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports on the MIL-SM4804G switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
