Riddle me this, which of the setups below would yield the highest throughput between vlan 10 and vlan 20? I've seen all 3 of these setups in the real world.
assume switch is NOT layer 3 capable
assume router is enterprise grade
Here's a 4th hypothetical setup just to make it interesting...
Edit* modified questions for clarity, removed option 3
Setup 1 (vlans on router&sw, single link)
assume all interfaces copper gigabit- Firewall
- interface 1 trunk VLAN 10,20 tagged
- Switch
- interface 1 trunk VLAN 10,20 tagged
- interface 10-19 access VLAN 10
- interface 20-29 access VLAN 20
- Firewall
- interface 1 trunk VLAN 10 tagged
- interface 2 trunk VLAN 20 tagged
- Switch
- interface 1 trunk VLAN 10 tagged
- interface 2 trunk VLAN 20 tagged
- interface 10-19 access VLAN 10
- interface 20-29 access VLAN 20
assume switch is NOT layer 3 capable

Setup 4 (vlans on router&sw, teamed interfaces)
Edit* sorry for double post, felt poll was apropriate and didn't see option to add to origional post- Firewall
- interface 1,2 teamed trunk VLAN 10,20 tagged
- Switch
- interface 1,2 teamed trunk VLAN 10,20 tagged
- interface 10-19 access VLAN 10
- interface 20-29 access VLAN 20
