A modular switch or chassis switch is a type of network switch which can be configured using field-replaceable units. These units, often referred to as blades, can add more ports, bandwidth, and capabilities to a switch. [1] These blades can be heterogenous, and this allows for a network based on multiple different protocols and cable types.
