Hi everybody,
I am quite new to networking, and I need to set up a network of PCs spread out on two buildings. Building 1 is with 4 floors, and Building 2 with a single floor.
I want the cabling to be based on wall outlets, with one 2-connector outlet at each of the floors in Building 1, except on the top floor where only a single outlet is needed. In building 2 I want one 4-connector outlet (or two
2-connector outlets). I have made a topology diagram below:Building 1 Building 2
Floor 2 PCs Wall outlets

The network should connect to the Internet via a Cable modem and a Firewall/ Switch of the type 3Com® OfficeConnect® VPN Firewall (details can be found on the following link) :
I appreciate any answers. Thanks in advance.
