Good day, i got a hotspot setup in our office, here’s the topology setup. I got RB952-5ac2nD as hotspot server, and a SOHO switch 8ports (megabit only) where the client users are connected, and also there’s a file server connected to switch, i setup my RB that if you’re not already logged in in the hotspot you cannot access the server or else, if your already logged in you can access. I use our hotspot for security purposes, then here’s my main Question: from a Client user (already logged in) communicating to Server PC (bypassed to hotspot) how does the packet travels? is it Client PC → Switch → Server PC or Client PC → Switch → RB → back to Switch → then Server PC
Hi,
Packets will go between server to clients and clients to server, RB wouldn’t block communication because is local communication inside LAN (through the switch)
Client PC → Switch → Server PC
