We need to keep the server(server-1) and the clients which connect to this server, within the campus distance(1-3 km). We have other servers also, as part of the network.
I would like to know whether it is a good idea to keep the server-1 and its clients as part of the same LAN, or different LANs(and they communicate via the router). What are the factors that I should consider to decide this. For the time being, please ignore the VLAN configuration for it.
