In firewall also i have configured LACp configured, 

when i shutdown one switch port my data traffic not passing from another port automatically why ?

i have get two active ports in LACp port channel 1

Hi there,

According to your diagram you are trying to establish a port-channel with two logically separate firewalls, and to make things worse they are from different vendors, so unlikely to ever be logically aggregated. As such you will never get the two member links in the SG switch port-channel to be up.

 

What are you trying to achieve with this setup?

A increase in bandwidth? why not have separate port-channels to each firewall.

Layer 3 failover? Have separate Layer 3 links to each firewall, adjusting link costs to facilitate path selection.

 

cheers,

Seb.

Hi,

Why is it happening because you are using two different devices at remote (Different Firewall)? It is not matching with the Port-Channel condition. Both firewalls must be in the same control panel for multi-chassis port-channel and it is not possible due to different vendors.

 

 I am not sure what is your firewall configurations. If there is no duplicate IP address then you can make an SVI and assign it to the gi 1/0/4-5 ports (Access ports).

Good day

 

I have the same exact topology for my environment so what I did was creating a default route to the ISP Link on the Firewall

Static route from the Firewall to the Core Switch within the same subnet with the SG350 switches as well 172.16.x.x

 

Question should i make the port trunk from the Core to the Firewall advice 

 

Please let me know if the above makes sence
