OK, I am getting more confused now. It actually became two question. 1. What the maximum number of 3548 per cluster? (which seems to be 16 here). 2. If I DON'T use cluster at all. Just assign one IP address per 3548s, and stack them with a loop, say 1-2-3-4-...-15-1. Is there any limitation regarding Spanning-Tree protocol, VTP... and so on???
