Cascade Topology
A cascade topology describes a fabric in which the switches are connected in series. If you connect the last switch back to the first switch, you create a
Each chassis link contributes up to 425 MB of bandwidth between chassis, 850 MB in full duplex. However, because of the sequential structure, that bandwidth will be shared by traffic between devices on other chassis.
Latency between any two ports is no more than two chassis hops.
