Yes you can connect two of these literally you can plug it into any port, this Netgear switch model is a plug and play switch layer 2, so there is no specific Uplink, but of course if you want to be organize, use port 1 to port 1 or port 8 and port 8 for your Uplink.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes you can connect two of these together and any port can be used. For organization and easy identification use port 8 or port 1. But any port can be used.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Connect to any port
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Because these are unmanaged, you do not have to use the same port on both, just plug in to either port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can connect using any of the ports.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Does not matter as these are simple uncontrolled switches aka hubs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should work without a crossover cable, but do not rule out the potential need for one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use any of the ports, of course. Keep in mind, though, that the further the wiring is between the two switches, the more degraded the signal CAN get.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes these connect together. Any port will work, they they don’t have to be in the same port number to work properly. All ports function as inputs and outputs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It doesn't matter which port(s) you The switch is auto-sensing so you can connect the two together without a cross-over cable or a inter-connect port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
