How many switches can be connected together?
As many as needed. The http://www.tencorp.com/SALESTIP.NS […] #034;5-4-3 rule in networks applies only to older networks that use hubs (repeaters). Be sure, however, to observe the maximum cable length of 100Meters for any port-to-port connection. Note also that multiple ports on a switch can be used for “uplinking” by using crossover cables, or by using the uplink capability on the switches that are being connected to the main switch.
