Re: What's different about a router uplink port ?



I'm guessing by the silence that it perhaps wasn't such a stupid
question.

The ports are all 10/100/1000 on this switch . Maybe it's just because
the uplink ports always used to be faster and so they kept the name
'uplink' to avoid people asking where they went when all ports became
the same speed :-)  I suppose there could be some routing efficiency or
extra MAC address handling capacity on some ports or maybe the
statistics info on managed switches works better to show the 'onward'
link saturation when it knows which ports are used for uplinks.
