    Hi @Ali_abdalla,

    So, can I say you want the traffic from the data switches, service switches, and CCTV switches to go directly to this core SW?

    Hi @Ali_abdalla,

    It is hard to figure out your current topology, issue, and purpose. Could you describe more and draw a topology so we can help?

    Dear Zyxel_Melen,
    Thank you for your help.
    Switches Model ( GS2210-48 ) Acees point model ( WAC6103D-I)
    Please check the attached image for the network topology.
    the issue one off the data or service switches is loading all traffic same as cctv sw one sw is loading all traffic.
    in data sw and service switch we have same vlan if we restart the loading traffic sw it shifted to anther sw.
    I do know witch one but i can see in the monitor system witch sw it becom the main sw
    service switch has an access point witch route threw vlan one.
    how i can force the switches to connect direct to core sw not bathing.

    Dear Zyxel_Melen,

    Yes, i need the switches to go directly to core sw 1 or 2 not between the other sw.

    Hi @Ali_abdalla,

    If your purpose is like this, why not connect the 18SW directly to the Core-sw1 rather than connect to ch-core-SW1?

    These switches connect to ch-core-SW1 and then connect to Core-sw1, the traffic will pass through the ch-core-SW1 and then to the Core-sw1.

    Dear Zyxel_Melen,
    Because it is not in the same building. alsoو I don't have enough fiber links to connect all switches.
    best regards

    Hi @Ali_abdalla,

    If there is a physical limitation, traffic from the 18 switch and AP will be sent to ch-core-SW1 and then forwarded to Core-sw1. I think the monitoring tool you used displays the traffic pass-through, which is normal behavior from your topology unless you connect the 18SW directly to Core-sw1.
