How to use uplink Interface
This article mainly introduces the use of the uplink interface, the article is very detailed, has a certain reference value, interested friends must read it!
How to use the uplink interface: when cascading, a general network cable can be used to connect the ordinary port of one switch to the Uplink port of another switch. If both devices are connected using a Uplink port, the network cable needs to use [EIA/TIA 568A] standard on one end and [.. 568B] standard on the other end.
How to use the uplink API:
When cascading, a normal network cable can be used to connect the normal port of one switch to the Uplink port of another switch. If both devices are connected using a Uplink port, the network cable needs to use the EIA/TIA 568A standard on one end and the EIA/TIA 568B standard on the other.
One of the two switches should have a Uplink port so that you can connect the Uplink port of the other switch with a straight line or the UTP port of the other switch with a reverse line.
Extended data:
An uplink port is a common port on a switch that facilitates cascading between two switches.
Each hub or switch connected to another hub or switch through the port of a hub is still logically multiple managed devices. Devices connected through cascaded ports do not require crossover cables.
It uses the same channel as its adjacent normal utp port, so if you use an uplink port, you can no longer use another normal port adjacent to it. These two ports are called shared ports and cannot be used at the same time.
