So, there you go, a way to star 8 8-port switches off a central switch with the remote switches needing no power. This allows UPS'ing the central switch only, while knowing they will all stay up.
In some cases, that's not always a great idea. Consider the situation whereby a remote "site" served by a remote switch has two or more network devices that rely on another in a local fashion... such as in the case of a NAS or SAN serving a local workgroup of machines. If you have to take down the central switch for whatever reason then you cut power to the remote switch and all the associated end-station lose local network connectivity as well. Of course you can always resort to manually plugging in the remote switches. Can those GS108T-200 perform auto-cutover to AC power? That would be ideal. -- /*=================[ Jake Khuon <khuon () NEEBU Net> ]=================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | -------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| NETWORKS | +==================================================================*/
