Do I need manageable layer2 switch in each department?
LockedHi all,
This is my first challenge in network field I am a telecom engineer and ccna certified
current job in small and new airport after a survey I found no cisco layer 2 switches available in some departments although there are no more than 15 or 20 users in each department need to access to the netowrk at the present time.
My point of view is to replace non-manageable switches with cisco manageable one as access layer switch to get full controll on the bandwith and the ports security.
the exist network includes one main router and six fiber optical, foure of them connected to the mail exchange rack with cisco 2960 switch then connected to non-manageable switches in different departments and other two fiber connected directly to AA and operation department also to non-manageable switches.
The total users in the airport at the moment about 120 users and seven departments.
I need your advices and supports.
Thanks
