Cascading
When the station loop limit is beyond the 100-meter (330 feet) limit, switches may be cascaded
to extend the range. For the POE8, simply connect the extension switches with their UPLINK
port to a LAN 1X~8X port of the previous POE8 in the cascade.
The POE8 does not support spanning tree. Do not create a loop when connecting
these switches to each other or other network components.
