Network switch cabling
This may be a dumb question, so spologies up front!
I've always cabled my (home) Network swtitches with ONE cable back to the originating router
BUT, as the ports on Netgear switches are all autosensing, COULD I have TWO cables between the router and the switch (load balancing/bandwidth sharing)? Or is that "not allowed" by Ethernet?
I've tried Googling, but nothing even close to an answer comes up đ
MANY thanks
Phil G
All unmanaged switches are supporting a single Ethernet connection only, no LAG.
