Hi!
I'm currently working out the logistics of my new setup, consisting of one VEP Master and two VEP Slaves. Due to the physical circumstances of my facility, I would need/prefer to keep my Master/Slaves in separate rooms. However the connectivity between the rooms is limited, in that there's only one usable cat6 cable coming out from the machine room (where I intend to keep my slaves, as well as a Seagate NAS). I can't really start drilling away at the walls to make room for more cables, for several reasons.
I know the general guideline is to have VEP running on a single dedicated network switch (as I have been up until this upgrade), but my question is:
Would it be possible to have two network switches in the pathway between the 3 VEP machines? And still maintain the Internet Router connection with the NAS for example. It's definitely not optimal, but is it even possible? Or do I need any additional gadgets (gateway etc?). Or is it simply technically a no-go?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
