Im in a bigtime baffle for a friends company and need some network advice.?

I am with a company who wants to upgrade their LAN configuration from 5 hubs and single router to one that uses 10 switches. The switches the company is buying have many more ports than necessary to support each segment, But however, they want to divide the 10 departments into separate place or entities. They are planning on using routers between each switch, dividing the broadcast domains between the switches. My question is this, what other options for configuring its network should I tell them to consider..help me鈥ahaIm in a bigtime baffle for a friends company and need some network advice.?
You can do this with one router and switches that are capable of VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network configuration.





You setup the switches with different vlan settings for the ports as needed to connect the computers in the different departments - IE: HR in one vlan segment - Sales in another and so on.





You use the router to route traffic between the vlans.





If you are not familiar with setting up a network of this nature I would advise you find someone with networking experience in this area - you will save a great deal of time in getting it setup properly and they can explain the pro's and con's to different configurations.





Hope this helps.
