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
Hope this helps.. let us know if you need anything else... rate replies if found useful..
