Cascade Configuration
Cascading means that two switches can be connected together using any of
the switch ports provided you maintain the same medium type. Two switches
can be cascaded to support multiple network port connections. Cable length to
the nodes must follow the 100Base-TX cabling specifications.
To cascade installed switches, do the following:
Note
When cascading switches, you must use the same medium type from
port to port.
1. If you intend to use Port 8, use Port 8 MDI.
2. Use a straight-through UTP RJ-45 cable to connect the first switch to the
second switch. See Figure 5.
