All of the traffic pretty much will be passing over the router. I see
the wisdom of what you are saying with redesigning the network and I
will give it some thought, but the majority of the resources are
located in one spot. I will mull that over though. As it stands, only
some students doing filesharing would not pass the router.
I am liking the VLAN concept more and more for the less active
segments. The whole thing has to fit into the budget. We have a few
Cisco 3500XL switches that I think support VLAN, so I could task one of
those to the job probably.
After Henning pointed out to me with the SK cards I don't need to go
the route of the quad, I am planning on the SK dual port cards.
http://www.syskonnect.com/products/sk-9s22.htm - but when I searched it
seems like the .2 revs are becoming hard to find and the .3 is
unsupported.
Bill,
As it happens I have been e-mailing with SysKonnect about the SK-9S22
and a possible quad port card today!
They are thinking about a doing a quad port card but need to be sure
that there is enough interest.
Anybody interested in a quad port SysKonnect card please e-mail me and I
will pass on your e-mail address to SysKonnect so they can let you know
when the quad port card becomes available.
According to the SK man page at
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sk&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
the SK-9S22 is currently not supported by OpenBSD.
