Understanding VLAN's
I’ve got a couple question on VLAN’s. If I have a subnet for a location such as 10.96.100.x, with a mask of 255.255.252.0, and a gateway of 10.96.100.1. This gives me access to four class C size blocks: 10.96.100.x 10.96.101.x 10.96.102.x 10.96.103.x Know lets say that I want to place a layer... -

Is there a limit on how many switches can be cascaded?
I would try to keep the number of hops to a minimum. Not because the hardware requires it, but because network management and security will. The larger the network grows, the more security and data-shaping will increase as a priority. This will eventually lead to managed switches and a need for...
