I'm looking for a gigabit switch with at least 20 ports for client computers and maybe several inputs, where the switch is capable of using those inputs simultaneously to increase total bandwidth.
In my specific setup, I have the LAN's router, where each port is gigabit, and I have 20 client machines in another room currently connected to a 100 Mb switch. This switch is fed by a single gigabit (over cat5e) line. I'd like to get a new switch, as described above, and run several gigabit lines to it for a total of, for example, 3 Gb/s of bandwidth into the switch.
Recommendations on a switch?
