copper the hospital have 5 floor and the core switch 3750 will install in the second floor so the maximum distance in 60meter i will connect to copper cable for each switch one for each core switch

Ok, so each uplink will be a dot1q trunk.

But first, put the 3750X into a stack.  Next, you send two uplinks from the 2960 or 2960S to the core switch and configure etherchannel on both the floor switch and the core switches.

2960/2960S do not need the command "switch trunk encap dot" because dot1q is the only (and default) option.

You cofigure a port for etherchannel like this:

interface range G0/1 - 2

switchport mode trunk

channel-group mode ON

On the 3750X, it'll look like this:

interface range G1/0/24 , G2/0/24

switchport encap dot

switchport mode trunk

channel-group mode ON.

Hi George. The forum is a great resource and people are always willing to help. However, my view is that the best way forward is to get someone experienced involved. It's only basic CCNP stuff, but if it's new to you, then you could easily miss other fundamentals that are key to a long-term sucessful implementation. This is a hospital after all. It's more important to get the basics right than getting all the latest features implemented. Hope you don't mind my comments. I've been in your situation when starting out, so that's partly why I write this. Best to learn from someone experienced, if you can.  Then you'll be flying solo with confidence and a solid understanding.

My Suggesstions are as

First of all.

Fiber should be layed from all Floor to Main Server Room For Uplinks Termination.

Second

You should use Gig Port for Uplink and Fe Ports for End User.
