Bypass 10/100 ADSL Router to send to NAS at Gigabit speed

[hilton]

Ah, the smell of napalm on a hot Suffrican summer afternoon!

Weeellll normal switches do NOT route traffic -- a switch is a layer two device -- unless it is of course a layer three switch.
and
It looks to me as if you actually have a layer two (LAN) rather than a layer three (WAN) problem
BUT
A layer two CISCO switch with IOS would allow you to do a LOT of things at a layer two level on an INDIVIDUAL port basis.

Like segmenting the network so as to allow the NAS to work at it's full potential ( look at your TITLE BYPASS

But anyway -- I am an idiot so WTF do I know.


MW

He has a crap drive issue, not a "quote the OSI model" issue.

Explain what you mean by segmenting the network?
You dont need a "CISCO switch with IOS" to segment a network.
Any switch does this unless I misunderstand your meaning of segment?
Otherwise its a Hub.

I agree you can manage each port better on a higer end switch, but that has nothing to do with this issue? NOTHING AT ALL.

Edit- BTW MW, did you ever try dynamips? You seemed to have alot to say about it without ever actually using it. Odd, u never got back to me on that?
