2. If they are on different switches then dedicate switches to the server for
that purpose and don't wire them up to where the rest of the LAN's traffic
shares a wire with the server traffic. But in the process of doing that don't
create switching loops unless your switches are running STP to handle the
loops.
Additional comments on STP. Just don't do it. No switching loops. Why?
Because STP will shut down one of the redunant paths,...however it makes the
decision, not you,..therefore if it shuts down the isolated link in favor of the
other path the rest of the LAN uses you are now back in the same problem again.
So make sure the comunicating servers have a "clean" Layer2 path between
themselves.
You may also want good quality switches,...don't buy "home user" stuff. good
Switches have very fast processors and very fast Backplanes,..."home user"
switches do not. Switches do have processors and do process tha packets, so the
processor speed is important. You don't usually see it listed in the
specs,...but just buy good quality switches and you won't have to worry about
it.
