Hi guys, I have a 3750X four-switch stack acting as the core of a fairly simple LAN. All I need to achieve (and this seems inordinately hard, but it is entirely likely that I''m just being dense) is
Hello, I am asking myself what others recommend for the connection between core switch and Firewall. The setup is the following: Two Catalyst 9300 Core switches in stack. The stack
we have more than 15 vlans that are configured on our FW and we are planning to switch the vlans and their permissions (ACL and Natting) from FW to Core switch. Can you help me with the
If your network consists of several internal routable subnets and the devices/systems on those subnets communicate regularly and do not warrant

You want to simply extend L2 all the way from the access switch to the firewall so all ports need to be L2 until they get to the L3 interface on the
Your core does not need to have an IP if it''s connected over L2 and your firewall is doing the routing. You would set a dedicated managment IP for the switch so you can access it. If your equipment can
As you can find through the attached file, we need to segregate the internet between two firewalls with interconnection with only one core switch on the core switch, we have created the VLANs for
Gents, I''ve a scenario where: 1) All my servers are directly connected to the Core switch. 2) I have only one external firewall that''s sitting between the

Internet modem------core switch------firewall Scenario: Internet modem - send to core switch the internet core switch - NAT configuration, vlan configuration and DHCP connection ASA
Would you connect the management interface of the firewall to an internal switch via patch cable in order to link the management interface to the management VLAN?
Each of the normal VLANs will use the core as their gateway. The core can then have the Cyberroam as its gateway. The Cyberroam needs to have routes for your internal subnets pointing
Learn when to use core switch routing vs next-generation firewall routing in enterprise networks. Explore performance, security zones, VRF design, and hardware platform selection.
Traffic staying within a zone can be routed on the core switch to reduce load on the firewall and improve performance. So in your case your end devices and printers can probably exist in the same zone.
Configure interfaces for interconnecting the core switch with firewalls. # Create interconnection VLANs on the core switch and add interfaces to the interconnection VLANs.
We can add more resiliency by adding another core switch so 1 firewall and 1 internet connection to one core switch and the other FW and internet connection to the other core switch. To me that is
My issue is in deciding whether to use the "core" switches OR the Fortigate firewall as the default gateway/L3 switch in the network. As far as my research has revealed, using the "core" for this
I recently had a spirited discussion with a colleague about the best practice for terminating internet connections in a corporate network setup. My colleague argued that internet connections should not
This guide breaks down a typical enterprise network infrastructure from the outside (internet edge) to the inside (core and endpoint layers)
We use both, but 99% of our internal segmentation is done through firewalls. ACLs are stateless and a bit of a pain in the ass to manage so we tend to use them for broad strokes policies that aren''t going
This firewall hangs directly off of our core, layer 3 routing switch. (See Current Configuration image below.) My question is, should I build a layer 3 Vlan

I have two buildings that have different vlans in them. I have a cisco core switch 4500 on one building and access switches 2960 POE about five switches and it connects to the other building
