Re: how to connect two cisco switches ?

Read up on your spanning tree information and don't "daisy chain" too
much.

Also Cisco proprietary ISL is being deprecated by Cisco so don't bother
with it. Use standards based 802.1q for trunking and use
etherchanneling for combining ethernet ports for higher throughput and
failover between switches.

Also check into rapid spanning tree.

About to play with some Cisco switches for the first time ( have worked
it PIX's and some of smaller routers ) - specifically the 2960; I've read
the docs , but don't see how to daisy chain them and I don't see the docs
referring to this ; I assume this is a "everyone knows" issue -

Some cisco docs I've seen simply mention running from one Ethernet port to
another -
