Could you advise me which network diagram is efficient?

[Soon Kwan Kwon]

Hello all,

I have to configure Router below. (I plan to use HSRP)

I want you to advise me which diagram is efficient.

Actually, I don't know what firewall use Layer mode (L2 or L3) -> this will be confirmed tomorrow.

In this point, if you know well, please let me know yours.

*Router : Cisco 2901/K9

Plus, basically, where is firewall located ? 

Maybe should I change router and firewall's location?

Regards,

SK.

I think the option in the middle is the best

Hi inaiate87,

Could I ask you the reason why do you think middle is the best one...?

Hi,

The first diagram looks better as here you can avoid HW single point of failure. You could swap FW and routers but it depends on which kind of FW are these and what you are doing toward ISPs. Routing or some other options. Where will you place HSRP stuff etc.
