Hi,
I got some confusion regarding the data traffic flow on the below design
Firewall 1 ---------------- HA ------------------- Firewall 2
| |
| |
Switch 1 ------------- vlan x/30 -------------- Switch 2
Switch 1 & Switch 2 has 10 vlan's. 8 of these vlan's are just L2 vlan's and these vlan's are terminated at Firewalls. The link between Switch 1 and Firewall 1 is a trunk link carrying these 8 L2 vlans. Same goes for the link between Switch 2 and Firewall 2. Firewalls are running at active-standby mode. I also have 2 L3 (SVI) vlan's on these switches. One is used for switch interconnect and other to the distribution layer switches. OSPF is configured as the routing protocol.
My doubt is this. Lets say Firewall 1 is active and firewall 2 is just standby. I need to know the traffic path that my data traffic will take from the Server's connected to Switch 2 to Firewall 1. Will it take
Switch 2 --------------> Firewall 2 --------------> Firewall 1
OR
Switch 2 -------------> Switch 1 ----------------> Firewall 1
please advice...
thanks & regards
