Hi All, once again, I am back designing a network for my company (scary). The budget I have been given from my manager, would not pay for a family visit to McDonalds. However, this is the requirment (my product selection is below) * Provide up to 200 ports on the floor * 2 level building, with multi-mode fibre between level 1 & 2 * Level 1, has 70 users, 30 servers * Level 2 has 60 users * 2 subnets will be used in this office I suggested, that we use a single 4003 as the core, purchase a Sup III, 1 x 8 port GBIC module, 1 x 48 port 10/100/1000 module. We then use the GBIC's to extend to the 2 x 2950's on the floor above, and 2 x copper GBIC's to the 2950's on the same floor as the core switch. This solution, worked out to be around $100K AUD (australian $$). This was seen as far to expensive. Is there any other model of Cisco catalyst switch that can perform layer 3 routing, GBIC between floors and etc that could do the job of the 4003/4006 ? Or is there a better way of doing it ?
