I was unit driving a duck on management of the network, foundation is weak, please give advice or comments,
Units on the Internet is to use a router with two switches (cheaper than net tube type), switches, respectively from the router LAN port, the first question: some people say that if the LAN internal data flow is big, after cascade two switches, and routers, can reduce the router load; If go to the network traffic is big, can keep the current structure, this statement right?
Server is used primarily as a domain controller and file server, it is the two pieces of card after polymerization (the equivalent of a piece of card) with two Ethernet cable to the router, network running normally, after contact with the above theory, I want to do the following adjustments: the server of each of the two cables will be moved to the two switches on, so that both switches have channel to the server, the data need not bypass the router! The idea right? To form the loop network paralysis?
Please advise, thank you!

As you approach

CodePudding user response:

The claim right
To form the loop

CodePudding user response:

Seems to be the so-called double nic single IP by double switches, like someone with so, but others said the design isn't reasonable, a teacher can further talk about?

CodePudding user response:

Can't bridge
Don't know what did you do the aggregation, if direct bridge, can form a loop,
If it is to use network card manufacturers provide software, put the two pieces of card binding, will cause the corresponding MAC address port turn,
Because your switches is a fool, still cold link backup, only a piece of card, network card is broken hand cut to another card, port is broken to switch to another port, the process requires human intervention,
If is management switches, can switch two ports do link aggregation, server two Ethernet card and binding, so you can use the two link load

CodePudding user response:

Upstairs said some truth, the aggregation is how make of you

CodePudding user response:

Topology can server traffic shall be prohibited from entering on the router,

Before making a change, have a look at the router's CPU, and RAM usage, if within the normal range, completely don't have to worry about,

If the CPU is very high, I think so before the two switches in add a switch, gigabit cheap but also dozens of dollars, is the router receives a new switch, from the two interfaces to meet two other switch, from my understanding, the internal data exchange of the router will not go,
