Switching nets have long been used as models of biological phenomena. In this paper, control properties of switching nets are discussed. Bounds on control parameters for general nets, linear nets and nets with linear inputs are obtained. In particular, bounds are obtained on the maximum distance between two states and on the length of input sequences needed to synchronize two copies of the same net. Bounds on the number of input lines that must be added to an autonomous net to make it controllable are obtained in terms of the number of cycles and transient chains of the net.
