DES-5024 to DES-5024 Connection
Connect two DES-5024s together through one or more MDI-X ports. See the section on Port Trunking in Chapter 5 for instructions on how to configure trunked ports.
Connecting the DES-5024 to other Switches and Hubs
You can connect the DES-5024 to other switches and hubs on the network. The DES- 5024 is compatible with the DES-5016, DES-3216 and DES-3224. Port trunking can be configured on the device if more than one port is connected between a DES-5024, DES- 5016, DES-3216 and DES-3224. Port trunking increases the efficiency of the DES-5024 by increasing the bandwidth. See the section on Port Trunking in Chapter 5 for instructions on how to configure trunked ports.
