Network Aggregation Plan
With 28 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 28 distinct collision domains), the
MR2228-S2C can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged
node, increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
When up to eight switch units are stacked together, they form a single “virtual”
switch containing up to 208 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 switch are providing 100 Mbps connectivity
for up to 24 segments. In addition, the switch is also connecting several servers at
1000 Mbps.
