How do I uplink to another hub / switch

You can always connect an ethernet hub/switch to another hub/switch. Some hubs/switches have uplink ports, and others do not. The configuration for all scenarios is listed below:

NORMAL PORT TO NORMAL PORT ---- CROSSOVER CABLE
UPLINK PORT TO UPLINK PORT ---- CROSSOVER CABLE
UPLINK PORT TO NORMAL PORT ---- STRAIGHT THROUGH/PATCH CABLE
NORMAL PORT TO UPLINK PORT ---- STRAIGHT THROUGH/PATCH CABLE

Remember, if you have a link light than the cable is right.
