Hello Nimal -
you can use redundant interfaces with 802.1q and have link from fw1 to
sw1 and sw2 and vice versa
so fw1 active interface is connected to switch 1 and standby interface
connect to switch 2, fw2 active interface to switch 2 and standby
interface to switch 1, this way if fw1 and sw2 fail, fw2 standby
interface becomes active to switch 1
hope this helps

Hello,
We;'re trying to setup a network with 2 Cisco ASA (5510) and 2
Cisco 2950 switches. In event that any firewall kaputs, the other
will take over (we havent decided on active/active or
active/standby configuration yet). Also, all the servers on the
internal network are performing "network teaming" , so even if one
switch dies, traffic will pass through other traffic
FW1 -- SW1 --|
| | FW2 -- SW2 --|
My question is, what if for some freak reason FW1 AND SW2 dies
simultaneously. In this scenario, network is totally down unless
we do some manual recabling. I understand that this might never
ever happen, but i would like to see how i can plan for this,
because this network is to be deployed in a remote location, where
there might not be any IT people around to assist.
Appreciate any advise, or ideas on this. Thanks!
