Hi,
We have 2 locations.
Please see attached topology
The first one is the Main Office and the second one is the Data Center/Colocation.
We have 2 different ISP at the Main office ISP1 and ISP2.
ISP1 is connected to a Layer 3 SW on Port 1 and Port 2 and Port 3 from same SW goes to our Primary and secondary Firewalls.
ISP2 is connected to a Layer 3 SW on Port 1 and Port 2 and Port 3 from same SW goes to our Primary and secondary Firewalls also.
Both the Primary and secondary Firewall are connected to our stack SW which is the Core in a redundant way.
The Data Center/COLO has one ISP which is ISP3. ISP3 is connected to a Layer 3 SW and then to Firewall and then to our stack SW which is the Core.
The Ip range of the Main office is 21.21.21.0/21
The Ip range of the Data Center/COLO is 30.30.30.0/21
The 2 locations are connected using VPN 1. We use this connection mainly to do backups.
Now a new connection has been added to improve the transfer are for backups between these 2 locations.
The new connection is a Point to point layer 2 connection and on the main Office side it has been terminated on a Layer 3 SW provided by the ISP and on the Data Center it is LC fiber.
My questions are as follows:
- Is there a way to make the Point to point connection be configured as a VPN 2?
- Is there a way to make VPN2 as primary VPN and VPN1 as secondary and in case one fails the other VPN kicks in?
- Or is there any other way we can connect the point to point connection so that transfer data rate for backup will be much faster as compared to VPN?
- Do we need another SW on the Data Center/Colo side for ISP4 (point to point connection) as we have used only one port out of 24 ports?
- Any other solution or suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tazio
