Let's see if I understand you correctly. A company is located in a multistory building. There are 700 users spread out among 20 floors. So on average there are 35 users per floor. I'm going to assume a single data center with your servers and internet connection. Got fiber running from your data center to the various floors? How is this structured? how far from the dataccenter to each of the floors? the answer to this will help determine if you use a collapsed backbone or if you connect your switches in series. do you have groups of users who should logically be separated from eachother. Some companies like their payroll department to be on a separate network from other departments, for example. are there some services that need to be separated and unavailable to some users? These days, 700 uses, particularly in a switched environment, is not such a large braodcast domain ( stop grinding your teeth, Priscilla ;-> ) but still, you might just want to separated out logical groups into vlans. or maybe do it by grouping a couple of florrs together into vlans. my knee jerk thought, not knowing too much about the particulars, is determine your port counts per floor, determine connectivity - fiber runs between closets, and where those runs terminate. if it's copper, you got troubles :-> determine your logical / vlan structures. who needs to see what and when. Then go through the provisioning process. Don't be afraid to call in a couple of vendors to help you. ask for proposals. If you have a vendor who works closely with you and wants to help educate you, that's your guy ( or gal, for the politically correct ) hope this helps you get started.
