Is this stupid? Easy yes or no.

I wanna get 2 Linksys 8 port switches. Now is it anyway possible to uplink them 2wice to each other to get double bandwidth between the too?

I doubt it but does anyone know for sure?

Not that i know of, but i could be wrong, why dont you just get a 16port switch.

 

[jmcoreymv]

Why not just go for the 16 port switch like pylorns said?

You can't double a maximum. Hence, the term "maximum". I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no.

No

 

[Spearfodder]

Absolutely no. Not only do switches not work that way, but if I'm not mistaken that switch only has one uplink capable port.

I seriously doubt the Linksys line of products support this, but "Fast EtherChannel" is a feature on Cisco switches that will allow you to aggregate multiple ports as a single logical connection between devices. Some multi-channel NICs also support this technology, allowing very high-bandwidth full-duplex connections.
