I am trying to connect a lan extension coming from location A to location B. At present both the locations are connected using trunk ports on their switches which forward the tagged clan traffic through them.
I have to install a firewall at the location a FortiGate 50 e to give internet connectivity via firewall but I wanted to have one exit point for all kind of traffic leaving the location that’s is through firewall.
The problem I am facing is that I cannot forward tagged blan traffic from one interface of firewall to another.
So now I have decided to form a virtual pair between the location A extension trunk port to licationB trunk port on the firewall and enable wildcard vlan
And then connect another port from the same switch to the firewall using an ip and setting a default route to this ip in ten firewall for internet.
I have a doubt that if it is going to form a loop or not. Or is the default route going to forward the traffic toward the internet which should go to virtual pair.
Do you have a drawing of your proposed deployment and what you are trying to do? I’m a pretty visual person and that may help me understand. Mostly just a network diagram of physical connectivity.
