ISP Switch for Failover process?

  • 1.  ISP Switch for Failover process?

    Posted 10 days ago

    Hi,

    we have a 24 port switch Aruba to connect 2 ISPs to 2 firewalls. with 2 vlans, example:

    Vlan10

    Port 1-->ISP1

    Port2--->Firewall1

    Port3--->Firewall 2

    Vlan20

    Port10-->ISP2

    Port11-->Firewall1

    Port12--->Firewall2

    the problem i see on this is related to the switch, is a single power source switch....

    can you please advise about better options to interconnect these 2 firewalls to 2 ISP, is there any better topology?

    i was thinking on replace the switch, with a dual power source switch, but i wan to ask before if we have another stronger of more secure options in the market....

    thanks in advance...

    This is typically how it's set up. Taking a switch as a shim to split the single ISP connections out to two or more firewalls. L2 separation is usually supported in most security policies. Using a stack with redundant switches is usually how I go about it. One ISP goes to one stack Member, and the 2nd ISP goes to the second stack member.
