Hello,
I am wondering in a cascading stacks with 3548 switches first what is the limit that you can have in a stack. Second what is the minimum. Also what are the limitation and strenghts of this configuration.
Thanks

If you are doing any IP telephony, no more than one. In other words you basically want a star topology. The gigastack is half-duplex and cascading them enters alot of latency.

I don't forsee any IP telephony traffic on any of these switches. SO I can have 2-9 switches stacked and there are no limits as long as its between 2-9 switches ?

You can cascade up to nine switches in a stack. Your stack will have 1 Gbps if there is more than 2 switches in the stack, or up to 2Gbps with just two switches. You can also increase the stack speed up to 12Gbps with the Catalyst 3550-12G Gigabit Ethernet aggregation switch. You can get more information on the features and advantages of the GBICs at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps872/products_data_sheet09186a00800a1789.html.
