Network Aggregation Plan
When used in standalone mode, the ES3526YA/ES3550YA provide 28/52 parallel
bridging ports (i.e., 28/52 distinct collision domains), which can be used to collapse a
complex network down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing overall
bandwidth and throughput.
You can stack up to eight ES3526YA switch units together, forming a single “virtual”
switch containing up to 208 ports. Or you can stack up to four ES3550YA units,
forming a virtual switch containing up to 200 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 ES3526YA switch are
providing 100 Mbps connectivity for up to 24 segments. In addition, the switch is also
connecting several servers at 1000 Mbps.
