I can well understand you desire to have them out of harms way. That is a consideration which should overrides any other. imho, a cable between two switches will probably be able to carry the traffic provided there are not too many client machines. I would expect that six would be no problem. A dozen or two might give network overload problems. Part of the purpose of the day is to discover this sort of thing. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell NB. This PC runs Linux.
