---------------------------------------------
CNA, like CiscoWorks, uses Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) to determine where devices fit in a topology.
In Cisco Network Assistant 4.0, the number of access points allowed in a community is no longer limited.
CNA supports up to 20 devices and 16 of the 20 devices can be Catalyst Switches.
If you have more than 16 switches and you want to manage them with CNA
- you can still do that.
All you have to do is to start another session of CNA in your PC and point them to a different community or cluster - there is no limit on how many concurrent sessions of CNA you can run, you are only limited by the resources of your PC.
Additionally, you may find of interest Cisco Network Assistant Clusters and Stacks:
"Because a cluster must have 1 command device and can have up to 15 members, a cluster can potentially have up to 16 stacks, totalling 144 devices."
