Campus Networking

Hello,

Our previous network manager didn't really understand networks and now he has left I'm trying to improve our network.

Everything is connected to switches, just daisy chained. Some switches have 5-6 hops to get back to the router. All I know is that is bad because you got 5-6 switches of traffic at the end hop.

I just want to understand how we can connect them more efficiently. I have researched we need a "core switch" Is this a particular device or just a normal switch but with a role of being the core? So my understanding is every switch will then connect to the core by link aggregation and that's it? We'll see somewhat of a network improvement? Or is there more to it.
