Well . I am reconstructing the Network of a 10 storey building with 10 to 150 nodes per floor . about 75 meters tall . I proposed to use a collapsed backbone structure with 2950T switches for the floor with <50 nodes , and catalyst 4000 switches with multiple 100BaseTx(48) modules for access layer connectivity and a 1000BaseT 8 for core connectivity . For the collapsed backbone , I proposed two catalysts 6000 switches with Supervisor Engine IA and MSFC and PFC (for layer3 connectivity)and multiple 1000BaseT(16) modules for both distribution layer and core connectivity . and redundant connectivity to access layer devices . I proposed to collect all the servers in a server farm and to connect all the servers directly to the 6000 switches(here is one of my problems should I connect to servers directly to core , or should I concentrate them and a seperate switch and to connect that switch to core) . For security , I proposed a DMZ , internal , perimeter structure with a PIX 525 in between . all the remote connections and dialup connections are concentrated on a 3660 router in the perimeter zone .
Here are my other problems : Not sure whether I should go for 6500 or 6000 (I don't know whether the CEF and SFM will help me that much or not) I don't know where to find a complete listing for all the components I need for each device and the related part numbers including cables and power supplies ,... Any other comment on the design are appreciated . Thank you all for the time and help .
