Ok so I wanted to split our office network into 2 subnets, namely wireless and LAN.
we have a linux firewall that dishes out DHCP and currently have a spare ethernet port on it which I wanted to use for the new IP range for wireless. we also have 3 48 port gigabit Netgear switches. All of the servers except the firewall are running Microsoft server 2008 R2. Wireless APs are Unifi Pro's with gigabit uplinks and there are 4 of them.
So basically eth1 would serve LAN range and eth2 would serve Wireless range, now this sounds logical but what happens when all of the servers including file server are on the LAN range and 50 or so wireless clients try to access these servers from the wireless range?
Surely this would create a huge bottleneck on the eth2 port on the linux box?
What would the best practice be for solving this, how could I configure the network to allow both Wifi and LAN ranges to have the same throughput to all the servers and avoid a bottleneck?
As always any advise is much appreciated.
