Hey guys,
I am helping my friend with a lan party and I just wanted to know if im correct. I will be using about 4 cisco 2912 switches, I need to hook them together to get up to like 40 ports. Will I need to use crossover cables between the switches? I believe so but want to make sure. Also is there any special place they need to be plugged in?
I got the answer....

For cabling between two switches, the transmit and receive pairs must be reversed. You can do this in one of two ways:
1. Use a straight cable with one switch port set to MDI and the other set to MDI-X.
2. Use a crossover cable with both switch ports set to MDI or both ports set to MDI-X.
