Yes that's why these would make good closet switches. You can run a gig switch on the top level as your backbone switch and have these uplinked using a patch w\ tagging running at 100. Gig is very nice but only neccessary on the backbone, it's very rare that you will see a 24 port switch maxed out even at 100.. Unless of course there is a design flaw or your company is into pushing graphics across the net all day.... I would never use the matrix ports anyway, but they are there and that's how they have to be advertised..
