Lan 2 Lan connection setup
Can anybody advise me? We've got two SRX5308 on different sites (A+B). The sites are currently connected using VPN but this is unstable. The provider of the fibre connection has made a direct connect...
Hi King-Marqy,
Welcome to our community! :)
It would be better if you can share your network topology to better understand your issue.

Ok, thanks. Here's a drawing:
Site A is connected to B using port 1 and VPN tunnel. New situation must be, no VPN tunnel, direct connection trogh port 4 on modem site A and B (this works, when connecting to port 2 of modem on site B an IP 192.168.178.x is given to my Macbook Pro. Thing is, i've tried to connect port 4 of the modem (patch) to LAN port 2 at site B and configure the SRX for translation... This didn't work, but there is a chance that some VPN tunnel configuration is conflicting with this.. But any config suggestions would be very appreciated. Port LAN2 at Site B has a static IP in the 178 range (192.168.178.253).
As per my understanding, you now have 2 ISPs per site and it was connected to the port 4 of the modem going to port 28 of the M4100 switch. What you wanted now is to move your connections to this modem and remove the VPN from the SRX5308. It means that you wanted the fiber connection to be your main line. Is that correct?

- Well we have fiber as main and cable as backup line. The fiber modem is using port 1 for internet and port 4 for the direct lan connection. Currently VPN tunnel over fiber and if fiber failes over cable. The direct lan connection is however configured by the fiber provider on their modems port 4, so yes we want fiber to be the main line and we also know that if this failes the lan2lan connection won’t work over cable. Thanks for the repelt!
- Situation is going to be different. On site b internet connection is going away, only the lan 2 lan via fiber is going to stay (from a to b).
