Let say I put a server in a separate VLAN and give another VLAN with workstations access to the VLAN of the server (as a resource); workstations and server are connected to the same switch.
The initial connection is forwarded to the router since the client is on another VLAN, but stays the router in between after the connection is established?
Since the server would be connected to the switch over an 40G QSFP+ fiber connection and the router will be connected to the switch over a 10G SFP+ connection.
When the router stays in between for the inter-VLAN traffic, the bandwidth to the clients would then be limited to the 10Gb fiber connection and I will not utilize the full 40G QSFP+ connection from the switch to the server.
Router model: CCR1036-8G-2S+
Switch model: CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM
Switch is not planned to be using the L3 function.
I hope someone can enlighten me on this matter and off course assure me that inter-VLAN established & related is handled at layer 2 on the switch.
Thank you in advance for your input.
