Hi,

we have a 24 port switch Aruba to connect 2 ISPs to 2 firewalls. with 2 vlans, example:

Vlan10

Port 1-->ISP1

Port2--->Firewall1

Port3--->Firewall 2

Vlan20

Port10-->ISP2

Port11-->Firewall1

Port12--->Firewall2

the problem i see on this is related to the switch, is a single power source switch....

can you please advise about better options to interconnect these 2 firewalls to 2 ISP, is there any better topology?

i was thinking on replace the switch, with a dual power source switch, but i wan to ask before if we have another stronger of more secure options in the market....

thanks in advance...

This is typically how it's set up. Taking a switch as a shim to split the single ISP connections out to two or more firewalls. L2 separation is usually supported in most security policies. Using a stack with redundant switches is usually how I go about it. One ISP goes to one stack Member, and the 2nd ISP goes to the second stack member.
