Hi people of superuser,
I have a question regarding basic networking knowledge. I've done quite some research online, but some concepts of networking are too abstract for me to understand.
I need to upgrade my home network, which will look something like this:
I have two switches and a NAS connected to a router. Multiple PC's are connected to switch S1. Another NAS (S2) is connected to switch S2.
I'm confident that the computers connected to S1 are able to connect to NAS 1 as I currently have a similar setup. I need to add multiple devices to the network, which I was planning to do using switch (S2). One of the main objectives is to be able to connect to NAS 2 from S1.
My questions are:
- Is it possible for the PC's to connect to NAS 2? I usually connect to it's IP address via a web browser.
- Should I setup the switch if it won't work?
