Stacking or Uplink ports

Hi,

would it be possible to add two RJ45 ports to all switches to use as uplinks and stop wasting ports that must be used for PCs.

Or add stacking ports that connect the switches to each other at 10 or even 20 Gigabit/s.

1 gigs uplink ports are too slow to connect multiple switch. Consider 150 users connected at 1Gbit/s going through 6 or even 7 1Gbit/s uplinks to reach the FGT. That makes no sense !!

Series 1 switches could have two 1Gbit/s uplinks while series 2 and beyond could have two 10Gbit/s uplinks

Thank you

Patrice
