    how to cable 3com switches

    I have purchased three 3Com Baseline Superstack III switches, I want to link all three together. Would it be better to daisy chain or plug each cable into one switch?

    Thanks

    That depends on how you want your network setup. if you want all switches to act as one big switch, then cable them in the back. If you want each switch to retain autonomy then link up the switches with cat5 cables. Just remember to use crossover cables or make sure one port is MDI and the other MDIX
