Solved: How can the firewall be routed to satellites?

The default routing for the backbone is the firewall.

When I send packets from SW1 to SW2, I want to go through the firewall.

Any ideas?

- The simple layer2 network is flat , and as such communication between 2 devices on 2 switches can not be aware of intermediate devices, for that (what you ask) you need a changed and or routed. topology. The question in this topology would be equivalent to asking : how can I make traffic from port-x to port-y on the same switch go trough the firewall ?

you're right So I change the network and try to route to the firewall using PBR.
