Slow Network

People are complaing the network is slow, including browsing the Internet. Please where do I need to look or do to determine the root cause of the slowness. The Network is made up of a 6500, few 4000 and lots of 3550s spanning about eight buildings. Thanks.

Ummm....very broad question, but its probably always a good idea to start in the core MSFC and switch, and start looking at logs. Unless you have daisy-chained devices and small legacy links, a modern network should not be slow unless there are issues. Well, its also a good idea to find out what 'slow network' means. If they are all hitting the same email or file server, then you may have a bottleneck on a node rather than the network. Basically, start at the core, but we need more information to give further advice.
