cascade vs stack 4300

 Hello: 

 I have to connect GSM4328PA and a GMA 4352pa this a simple setup so a simple  uplink  rather then a stack should work. Assuming the "Ethernet mode" under " configure stack mode" would do just that??

 is that correct?

  • Don't think you have ever to use the stacking menu for configuration two standalone switches. Keep in mind historically Netgear had some dedicated port and port types for stacking. In my understanding you will end with two Ethernet connected switches in stacking mode - this is not what you want...
