So I think we have a network bottleneck in our office -
Our main servers are all interconnected to an 8 port DLink gigabit switch.
However, the 8 port switch is connected to our backbone switch which is are 2 DLink DES-1024D, 24 port 10/100 switch.
Servers --> 8 port switch --> DES1024D (1) (connected to another) --> DES1024D (2)
Can I make multiple connections from the 8 Port Gigabit switch to the 1024D to theoretically multiply the server throughput to the rest of the network by x times the number of connections? Or should I connect the 8 port switch to both 24port switches separately? Or do many of both?
Or is this just silly? Just trying to think of low/no cost alternatives before doing any money-out.
