Could you tell me which topology would be best and cost effective for a LAN network installed on a 10 floor building with 1500 computers spread over the 10 floors. Ethernet, Star, Token-Ring etc? The LAN has to be joined together.
Thanks

Ethernet network. Switches should be utilized and positioned on the floors to keep your cable runs at a minimum.

Link the switches together with fiber.

Good Luck Lee

Star..........A two tier architecture........a coure L3 switch chassis at the server room connected to all the switches in the floors in a gigabit backbone..Simple...............as it is....Provide VLAN and Redundant paths if u want to complicate it.
