NETWORK AGGREGATION PLAN
With 26 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 26 distinct collision domains), the switch can
collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing
1000 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments.
