Routing Question

Can someone help me out with the following:

We want to connect two buildings with each other. That is not difficult in itself, but we want that each building can route over their own internet fibre line(WAN) and of course can route the LAN between each other. I have added an image to make it more understandable.

 

What is the best approach for this?

Should we route all traffic over the firewall/gateway or should we route over the M4300 switch(which than will become the gateway) and how should we do that?

  • Hi Pubswat,

     

    Plan a: min configration change

     

    If both firewalls have free LAN ports,you can connect with two firewalls and  configure dynamic or static routing, 

     

    it can make the networks of the two buildings accssible to each other

     

    When the networks of the two buildings access the internet ,they still use the old one
