Cascade Configuration
Cascading means that two switches can be connected together using any of the
switch ports, provided you maintain the same media 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 media type from port
to port.
1.
If you intend to use a port with the MDI/MDI-X button, set MDI/
MDI-X button to the To HUB position (in).
2.
Use a straight-through UTP RJ45 cable to connect the first switch to
the second switch. See Figure 4.
