Connecting to another switch
I am concidering purchasing an MS510TX switch and want to connect it to an existing TP-Link switch. (TL-SG1024DE).
The MS510TX shows an uplink port but its 10g. The Tp-Link does not have 10g. Can I use any MS510TX port for the uplink?
OR.. am I misunderstanding the uplink function?
Thanks
All ports are equal (except of the sets with different technologies and max link rates), there are no dedicated uplink ports. It's always what you make use of it. The uplink needs to cover the bandwidth requirements, being for the devices connected to the other parts of your network, being the Internet, being the WiFi. Possible deployment for the MS510TX (MultiGig- and) 10G copper port could be a system like a some Network Attached Storage providing services for multiple devices using 1G, 2.5G, 5G network interfaces.
