The diagrams are excellent, and now I fully understand your previous FMC posts. A picture paints a thousand words.....
It also prompts another question. In your previous set up, you run PC, switch, switch, SMS-200. (I'm skipping the FMC's here for clarity). The first switch also feeds the router. By contrast, I run PC, router, switch, mR. I guess I could also run the PC to an additional first switch in the same way, rather than to the router. Would this make any difference? I'm curious why you had what I would have considered unnecessary switch in the chain?
