Hello,<br />
<br />
I'm have two switch in my network. The one i just bought Cisco Small Business SG200-26P.<br />
And the other one in another room Cisco Small Business SD2008 v3 (8P).<br />
<br />
Now i have multiple (about 3) cables (CAT6) going to the small switch (8P) from the main switch (26P). Now i want to use two cables from the 26P --&gt; to the 8P so there is lot off bandwith. <br />
<br />
Can i do this, or will i create a loop? <br />
Thanks

Hello,

I'm have two switch in my network. The one i just bought Cisco Small Business SG200-26P.

Now i have multiple (about 3) cables (CAT6) going to the small switch (8P) from the main switch (26P). Now i want to use two cables from the 26P --> to the 8P so there is lot off bandwith. 

Can i do this, or will i create a loop?

Networking setup

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
