On a large layer 2 network with multiple campus wide VLANs what would people
regard as the maximum number of switches that can stably be used? Has any
one found any documentation stating any such limits. I am looking at a
legacy LAN with over 40 switches in the same STP tree (all are radiating off
2 core devices in a non-meshed star topology).
In order to help convince management that migrating this to a more modern
multi-layer approach is the way forward I am looking for evidence showing
the weakness of the current approach.
Thanks,
Daniel
