Linking most switches is very easy -- just run a straight through (normal) cable on one port of one switch to a port on the other switch. Done!

What is the difference between a access port and a trunk port?
• Access link: An access link is a link that is part of only one VLAN, and normally access links are for end devices. Any device attached to an access link is unaware of a VLAN membership. An access-link connection can understand only standard Ethernet frames. Switches remove any VLAN information from the frame before it is sent to an access-link device.• Trunk link: A Trunk link can carry multiple VLAN traffic and normally a trunk link is used to connect switches to other switches or to routers. To identify the VLAN that a frame belongs to, Cisco switches support different identification techniques (VLAN Frame tagging). Our focus for CCNA examination is on Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and 802.1Q.A trunk link is not assigned to a specific VLAN. Many VLAN traffic can be transported between switches using a single physical trunk link.

Can switches be used by administrators to segment their LAN?
Not really - they operate at the Data Link layer using the MAC address and therefore don't really segment a network. There are some managed switches that can do this or by using VLAN configurations, but ordinary switches will not really segment a LAN.
