Dear All,
I have a question about selecting Cisco switches for my network. I recently joined this company. We are moving to a new location, and we have 5 floors. We have two IDF rooms and one MDF room. All cables are terminated in the IDF and MDF rooms. For each IDF room, I am going to install 4 switches (192 ports) in a stack. In the MDF room, I am also planning to install 4 switches in a stack. These switches are access switches. From these switches, trunk cables will connect to my core switch and the core switch will connect to the firewall and then ISP.
Each floor will have 100 to 150 clients (laptops, printers, and phones) connected at any given time, including Wi-Fi.
I am thinking that for access switches I should go for Cisco Catalyst C9200 with uplink port 40G. I am not sure about the core switch, but I think it should have for my core switch three 40G ports that will connect from my access switches.
Please I need help for selecting cisco access and core switch. Let me know if you need anything to more clarification.
Thanks in advance.
LynneShri.
