The following picture is my topology of network.
1. When I copied a file form a station to another station, the traffic flow display in the diagram of "interface-ether1" and "interface-ether2" is nothing change ,the transport rate display in the "local connection" is up to 82Mb/s,is it means that the transportation is directly through the switch but not the Mikrotik router?
2. After I used "drop-input" and "drop-output" command in the "firewall-filter rules", I took for granted that it would sever the connection between each station in the ethernet. But it seems can't work, I can use Microsoft workgroup to transport flies to and fro form each other.Why? and how can I do to isolate the communication of each station?
3. Is the "input" command in charge of the communication of each workstions in Ethernet? "forward" command takes charge of the traffic flow between workstation and outside internet?
