What is difference between normal and uplink ports in switches?

Up-link ports are used to "Up-link" a device to another device such as a hub, router, or switch. Normal ports are used to attach a device to the before mentioned devices. A lot of devices have "auto configuration" or auto-sensing ports. With these auto sensing ports, any port can be utilized as a up-link port.
In the early days of networking, you had to use a crossover cable to up-link a device to another switch, hub, or router. This was before they had up-link ports.

What is a mechanism that can be used on Layer 3 switches to aggregate the bandwidth of multiple uplink routed ports?
etherchannel
What is the difference between oqpsk and qpsk?
the phase shift allowed in OQPSK is 900 whereas in QPSK it is 1800 . QPSK is used in uplink whereas OQPSK is used in downlink.
When is the uplink connection used on a switch?
Uplink connections are typically used to connect the switch to a higher level switch, that is more powerful and closer to the backbone.On basic switch models, the regular ports are MDIX ports, meant to connect directly to a PC. The Uplink port is then an MDI port, which can connect (with a straight cable) to an MDIX port on a different switch. Often the highest numbered port (8, 16, or 24 for instance) has one MDIX port in the regular set and an MDI uplink next to it, but you can only use one of these two.You can use a crossover cable to connect MDIX to MDIX or MDI to MDI port.On more modern switches, ports are often MDI/MDIX autosensing and this reason for existence of uplink ports has passed (all Gigabit Ethernet has this, and many 100 Mbit Ethernet).In the mean time, however, switch models have come into being which have faster speed uplink ports. For instance, 10 Mbit switches with 1 or 2 100 Mbit ports to connect to the core network, or these days 100 Mbit switches with a few Gigabit ports.
How do you connect 2 network switches together on the same network?
In the case of ethernet, you need a "crossover" ethernet cable connected between two regular ports or a regular ethernet cable connected to an "uplink port" on one switch and a regular port on the other. Uplink ports are sometimes called "MDI" ports. Both types of cable are available at most computer and office supply stores.
What is uplink and downlink?
Uplink and downlink are frequencies Communication from earth station to satellite in uplink and communication from satellite to earth station is downlink Always uplink freq.>downlink freq.
What is duplex spacing?
Duplex distance/spacing is the distance between the uplink and downlink frequencies
What hub port do you put the cable in to expand a network?
If you connecting a hub to another device then the cable must be placed in the uplink port, or a port that can switch between a client port and an uplink port.
What is uplink frequency in gsm?
GSM 900: Uplink frequency: 890 - 915 MHz GSM 1800 : Uplink frequency: 1710 - 1785 MHz GSM 1900: Uplink frequency: 1850 - 1910 MHz
What is uplink?
Uplink translates also to Upload - where you send data to another destination.
Schematic diagram of uplink and downlink?
uplink frequency-1710-1785MHz downlink frequency-1805-1880
What is uplink frequency?
Uplink frequency is a frequency that goes from the ground to the satellite. Downlink frequency goes from the satellite to the ground.
What is an uplink port?
An Uplink Port is a port on a connectivity device, such as a hub or switch, used to connect it to another connectivity device.
