Connecting the DES-5016 to the Network
22
DES-5016 to DES-5016 Connection
Connect two DES-5016s together through one or more MDI-X ports. When connecting
multiple ports to another DES-5016 use port trunking for better performance.
Connecting the DES-5016 to other Switches
and Hubs
You can connect the DES-5016 to other switches and hubs on the network. The DES-
5016 is compatible with the DES-5024, DES-3216 and DES-3224. Port trunking can be
configured on the device if more than one port is connected between a DES-5024, DES-
3216 and DES-3224. Port trunking increases the efficiency of the DES-5016 by
increasing the bandwidth. See the section on Port Trunking in Chapter 5 for instructions
on how to configure trunked ports.
