Cisco Firepower 1120 - TRIPLE WAN Failover/Loadbalance

wendalelotino — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:47:32 GMT

Hi Community,

Is it possible for Cisco Firepower 1120 to support TRIPLE WAN ISP for Failover or Load Balancing? We are using Software Version 7.0.1-84

Thank you.

@wendalelotino you can use up to 8 interface to load balance using ECMP (traffic zones) https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/secure-firewall/management-center/device-config/720/management-center-device-config-72/routing-ecmp.html

or Policy Based Routing https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/secure-firewall/management-center/device-config/720/management-center-device-config-72/routing-policy-based.html

I think you ask same and @Rob Ingram answer you before.
his previous answer clear mention that ECMP support up to 8 path.
or this issue is different ? can you more elaborate ?

Hi Sir,

I just want to clarify if it's possible that the device is capable of using TRIPLE or more WAN interfaces for internet connection while configuring it as failover and load balance. Thanks.

@wendalelotino yes. ECMP trafic zones can use up to 8 interfaces to load balance. Policy based routing you can specify the sequence order of the interfaces to route the traffic (as per the link provided).
