No, i have in room 1 the servers and 2 switches, the AT and another unmanaged one for network 2, in room 2 I have some workstations and 2 swithces, one for each network. The two networks sees each other only thgrouht the server2 configured as a fw/router. Since i need more bandwidth for network two, i would try to move there the 8024, buying a new switch for server room, trunking it toigether, so when there are more WS working on room 2 these can connect to the servers (there are 7, i mentioned the only two ones that need to be directly connected to both networks) on room 1 using also the cable used for network one (Incidentally: peak time usage for the twqo networks are luckyli different !). [I do not want to spend money for more cables since room 2 will be abandoned in april ... while a new switch could be kept as spare, an additional cable to an abandoned room would not be justified) > If you change to the new setup you will lose redundancy! > (if this is not the question you setup will be fine) > > Rgds, > j. > > > Leonardo Boselli wrote: > > Il 11 Sep 2004 alle 21:30 Andreas John immise in rete > > > >>1.)
