| Title: | STACKING A PLURALITY OF DATA SWITCHES | |||||||||||
| Abstract: | A plurality of data switches such as Ethernet switches 1, 2, 3, 5 are connected to each other using their ports for receiving and transmitting packets. A given one of the switches 5 operates as a master switch which transmits instructions to the other switches l, 2, 3 as command packets, and receives responses back from them as response packets. The slave switches l, 2, 3 are connected pairwise. The command packets pass through the network until they reach a slave switch l, 2, 3 to implement them, and the response 10 packets pass through the network to the master switch 5. | |||||||||||
