Try this for high-level overview:

And here are some best practices documents for the 4500 and 6500, though they is generic enough to apply to other platforms.

Look around CCO. There are a lot of good docs out there.

Hi,

Go to www.cisco.com/go/srnd and then select Campus, Two design guides

HA recovery Analysis

Routed ACcess Design

Finally VSS design guide will there shortly.

The previous reply has good info too - but it more operational. Above design guide helps you in terms of architecture and design view point.

thx
