There is a document on Cisco's website that suggests not having a network "diameter" of more than 7, or 7 switches diasy chained, because of Spanning-Tree. However, I am hard pressed to think why you would even want to do that.

Hello,

If you want to cluster, you can have 16 switches... refer to the URL below

If you want to do non-cluster with daisy chain, it is 9 switches.. refer to the URL below
