1. A high-density networking system, comprising:
at least one external switch device; and
a networking device that includes:
a port row including:
a plurality of first ports and a first subset of a plurality of third ports, wherein the first subset of the plurality of third ports are coupled to the at least one external switch device; and
a plurality of second ports and a second subset of the plurality of third ports that are each moveable relative to the plurality of first ports and the first subset of the plurality of third ports, wherein the second subset of the plurality of third ports are coupled to the at least one external device;
a processing system; and
an internal switch device that couples the plurality of third ports to the processing system, wherein the internal switch device is configured to:
route first data received from the processing system through a network via the first subset of the plurality of third ports and the at least one external switch device;
determine that second data received from the processing system cannot reach the network via the first subset of the plurality of third ports; and
route, in response to determining that the second data received from the processing system cannot reach the network via the first subset of the plurality of third ports, the second data received from the processing system through the network via the second subset of the plurality of third ports and the at least one external switch device.
