network design question [7:52762]
Hi All, Like my previous emails, had a network designed for some 460 ports. Hoever, like yesterday, I have been told now to cater for some 650 ports, and to plan for VOIP in a few months time. My topology looked like [Core Switch - Cisco Catalyst 4006] / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ [Cat2950][Cat2950] [Cat2950][cat2950] and would extend out another level That kind of worked for 460 ports: Would this design work: [---Core Switch - Cisco Catalyst 4006-] Floor Closet-Level 3 (core room) /\ / \ / \/ \ / \ / \ [Cat2950]--[Cat2950]---[Cat2950] [Cat2950]---[Cat2950]---[Cat2950]---[Cat2950] Floor Closet-Level 1 Floor Closet-Level 2 All links back to the core, are fibre connecting to a GBIC on the core 4006. The link between each cat 2950, is also fibre connecting to a GBIC port. Would this design work as my core-distribution model, or would it be better just to have the just 2 switchs at my dist layer ?
