Dual uplink switch?

[Zucarita9000]

We have a couple of Linksys SR224G switches connected via gigabit to a Linksys SLM2024 main switch.

The SR224Gs have two Gigabit ports, and I was wondering if both can be used as uplink ports to somehow share the load.

It's possible if the switches support Link Aggregation (LAG) or EtherChannel (Cisco's technology). If not then no. On most SOHO switches using both ports to the same switch will actually make a loop and make a net-not-work.

Well, the SLM2024 does support LAG. Do all the switches have to?

Yes - you enable it on both ends of the link.
