Uplink/Downlink copper between M4250
A little confusion to the M4250 Datsheet Target Applications. If we don't want to utilize fiber ports (sfp, transceivers, etc) can we use the copper ports (no optics or transceivers) instead to create connections between the two M4250 Switches?
Basically, assigning an IP per switch and then trunking the VLANs on the uplink port/downlink port (then untagging per port) from the Uplink to the second switch via copper.
I just want to make sure we don't have to use the fiber (bandwidth, throughput is sufficient, etc)
Example:
Copper port 1 switch A (switch IP 192.168.1.1) - Trunk Vlans 10,20,30
to
Copper port 1 switch B (switch IP 192.168.1.2) - Trunk Vlans 10,20,30.
We can ping between 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2
Thank you!
