connecting 3 or more switches
|

| Only1Calorie 2003-07-15, 1:25 am |
| Hi,
Is it possible to connect three 100Mbit switches with only two
cross-over cables? Is the 3rd cable needed or just recommended?
eg
1-2-3
rather than
--1-2-3--
| |
---------
Thank You!

If I understand well, you are creating a loop with that 3th cable.
That's not so good !

| Hi,
Depends if you use Spanning Tree. If so, run more lines, if not, run less!
