This doesn't mean that you should do this though.... be careful with openview... it starts acting squirly when you cluster switches. And issuing commands from a telnet session to manage 16 switches is flakey at best. Now if you are not a OV user and you have cisco works installed, clustering is pretty cool. Still not like having a separate ip on each switch, but decent.
-Patrick out of curiosity, are you using registered addresses? Or just ultraconservative on the ip space? :) >>> "Kelly Cobean" 03/14/02 09:24AM >>> Man, I'm glad you said that. My boss (who did the ordering of all of our Cat3548's) said the limit was 9....He's a pretty smart guy, so I took him at face value...Shame on me! Thanks for the correction....That helps alot!!!

Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 8:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Stacking 3548s [7:38208] Cisco Switch Clustering Breakthrough Cisco Switch Clustering technology enables up to 16 interconnected Catalyst 3500 XL, Catalyst 2900 XL, and Catalyst 1900 switches, regardless of geographic proximity, to form a single IP management domain. Cisco Switch Clustering supports a broad range of standards-based connectivity options and configurations to deliver levels of performance that are scalable to meet customer requirements. Switch Cluster connectivity options for the Catalyst 3500 Series XL include Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Fast EtherChannel, low-cost Cisco GigaStack GBIC, Gigabit Ethernet, and Gigabit EtherChannel connectivity. Because the technology is not limited by proprietary stacking modules or stacking cables, Cisco Switch Clustering expands the traditional stacking domain beyond a single wiring closet and lets users mix and match interconnections to meet specific management, performance, and cost requirements. Catalyst 3500 XL switches can be configured either as command or member switches in a Cisco switch stack or cluster. The command switch serves as the single IP address management point and disburses all management instructions dictated by the network administrator. Command switches can cluster up to 15 additional interconnected member switches regardless of interconnection media.
