With 10 parallel bridging ports (i.e., 10 distinct collision domains), this switch
can collapse a complex network down into a single efficient bridged node,
increasing overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports on the switch are providing
1000 Mbps connectivity for up to eight segments, while the 1000BASE-SFP ports
are providing connectivity for two Gigabit segments.
