Stacked m4300 with dual firewalls

I have a stack m4300 24 by 24 not as failover but just as stack.  I also have two Sophos XG 330s.  I have one router going to one switch and another router going to the other switch.  All are default vlan and it appears to be working.  Anything wrong with that picture or any other configuratio that should be applied for traffic.  I have the routers configured to route traffic but nothing on the M4300.  M4300 is doing routing for internal network to get to internet but thats it.  

Model: XSM4348S|M4300-24X24F - Stackable Managed Switch with 48x10G including 24x10GBASE-T and 24xSFP+ Layer 3

@COP_IT,

 

I believe you are referring to setup VRRP. Is that correct? You wanted the M4300 to route the traffic to the other router once it fails?

@COP_IT,

 

In order for us to help you, I have my questions below:

 

- May I know what do you really want to achieve here?

- Do you have 2 routers connected to both M4300s?

 

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Routers are setup as failover, One switch to one router another switch to the other router, then both routers connect to a dumb switch and from the dumb switch they connect to the gateway.  I read that each gateway should be on a sepperate VLan is that correct, or is my setup ok.
