Network Aggregation Plan

With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the ES3628EA can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.

In the figure below, the 100BASE-TX ports on the switch are providing 100 Mbps full-duplex connections for up to 24 local segments through stackable switches. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
