      What Is A Result Of Connecting Two Or More Switches Together?

      The number of broadcast domains gets increased when we connect two or more switches together. Today, let us know how to connect two switches. We usually connect many numbers of switches which are of small-medium to large size. All these should connect to each other.

      By connecting multiple switches on the computer network is considered as the common functionality. We will have a larger amount of connectivity by connecting the two or more switches together along with its benefits.

      Let us list the advantages of connecting multiple switches in detail. The common advantage is, it increases the size of the broadcast domain, we will have more nodes that are connected together. We can also create a larger physical distance on the network.

      We have basically two ways in order to make these connections. We have uplink ports where we can connect the uplink port from one switch to the normal networking port.

      On the other hand, we have a straight-through cable and port to port by using the normal networking switch ports on the front of the switch by using the cross-over cable.

      The first type of connection is the uplink port connection that is between the two switches, when we use an uplink port, the manufacturer will clearly mark that port on a physical switch, we have to use the straight-through type network cable to connect the other switch. And the other switches to the normal network connection ports. These would be the same ports that we might connect to any other device. The below figure represents the straight-through cable. The other switch i.e 2X in the figure is used to connect any devices like laptops, printers, and many more. We have several different reasons for using the uplink port, one switch will be connected to a networking port.

      We get more benefits in the way the ports can be configured in the switch configuration. We use one uplink port that is connected to the one regular port and the uplink port that is connected to the next switch’s regular port. we place a button when dealing with the uplink ports in most cases, this button will allow changing the port from an uplink port to the regular port. When we press this button it changes the pin layout inside of the port, in order to make the port uplink or a regular port. This leads to another type of connection between the two switches using the regular network port to the regular network port by using the cross-over cable.

      It is the most common type of connection that we use on the network., if we want to connect two switches together by using the regular network ports usually on the front of a physical switch, we have to use the cross-over cable between the two, we cannot use the straight-through cable. Because in straight-through cable, both the switches will attempt to send their data on the second pair of the wires, they try to listen to the data only on the first pair of the wires.
