Hey folks,
i am setting two firewalls to operate with CARP.
They have three interface each, one to outside, one to inside and the
third will link them both together.
The outside network, is a just used for routing, it useds 192.68.0.*.
I requested three address: 192.168.0.1 (Will be used for redundancy),
192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 on each of the firewall outside interface.
Each of the firewalls outside interface are connected to a switch. I
doubt is that, funcionally my network reach address will be advertised
as 192.168.0.1, i will be doing failover and load balance with it.
Would this approach requires any special support into the switch
device?
Thanks
I don't know how you will load balance but failover will work, no
special switch configuring required. Though without redundant switches
you have your new single point of failure is the switches.
