Greetings,
Recently I configured simple basic VLAN setup on Cisco 3750 switch and connect it with Mikrotik Router board using trunk port. VLAN setup is as follows.
Mikrotik Router LAN Port = 10.0.0.0.1/24 [Connected with Cisco 3750 Port 1 , trunk]
Cisco 3750
Port 1 = Trunk, connected with Mikrotik
Port 2 = Vlan10 = 10.1.0.0/24 [User Group 1]
Port 3 = Vlan20 = 10.2.0.0/24 [User Group 2]
Port 3 = Vlan30 = 10.3.0.0/24 [FTP Media Sharing Server 1]
Port 4 = Vlan40 = 10.4.0.0/24 [FTP Media Sharing Server 2]
PPPoE Server is configured on RB & All users internet is working fine via dialing into it. and they are able to ping each other. This part is ok ,
Now the problem is if user starts download heavy files from FTP Media Sharing Server 1/2 , there traffic is passing by mikrotik router which puts load on RB CPU (as the trunk traffic bandwidth reaches in GB which chocks the mikrotik port traffic as well]
Is there any way User Group can access FTP media sharing without going via mikrotik, they could somehow connect with FTP locally by switch port directly?
