1 switch    24 Ports

i want to up-link all 4 switches and configure trunk, so that all switches act like a one switch

To achieve your objective, you would need to configure a 'stack', which you can do with your switches (this is what the 'S' denotes)

There are special cables that are required to do this, if you look at the back of the switch you will see the interface.

As said above, you need to plug the stack cables into them as per the guide below:
