Network admins Unite and help poor old me....

Just recently I was been given the privilege of fixing the mess...

Nothing is labeled, we have separate VLANs setup but almost everything is running on VLAN 1. There is no documentation, most of our switches are at capacity, with a need for more drops. Almost every drop in our plant is beyond recommended length (some in the 500+' range). Our wireless is all screwed up as well. 3 SSID's, 128 WEP(doesn’t reach outside the building), not all work, DHCP doesn’t always work on them, etc.

I am in the process of starting in our data center and rewiring all of our servers through an overhead wire tray. I am moving all of our servers to dedicated switches (currently on a 6000 series Cisco with users) I am going to put in 2 racks so each server has a cable from its pair to each switch. All servers will be on a single VLAN.

We are also incorporating a database that will keep all the information on each cable that is patched into a switch by a UID.

I am looking for standards or guidelines from everyone who might know. My switch experience stops at changing ports, naming them, and changing VLANs. So let me know what to do. Thanks in advance..

Some background Information:
All our switches are Cisco... at our level we don't have the firewalls (they are at corporate). We have 2 Cisco Routers (redundancy). I am not sure of the model numbers on these.

Switches:
6000 series
4000 series
2500 series
3750 series
others I dont know of

Prolly around 30 switches and 10+ AP's
