I understand your concern. You're asking if data will flow directly from one computer through the two switches to the next, without looping back to the managed switch. You want confidence that it stays on your intended path and doesn't get stuck in a cycle. It's good you're thinking about performance and network stability.
Place it on the short route, avoiding the managed switch. Verify functionality by checking the bandwidth reported by the switch.
Thank you, I'd do that if I managed the managed switch. However, it's not my network so hence the concern about using too much data.
