Hello, I'm looking for a solution that I can place a firewall between 2 vlans on a BigIron router with L3 enabled.
For this moment there is one big vlan2 with a ip-route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 123.123.123.123 and a router-interface ve2 with the IP of the router, the address I use as gateway on the machines behind it. The WAN port has the IP address to communicate with to the GW of the carrier-router (123.123.123.122) Because I want to let the BigIron the routing I was thinking of 2 vlans, one for the lan-vlan and one for the wan-vlan, but this will be a problem because I only have one IP-block what I can use. So the sitiuation must be as follow on the BigIron: WAN => vlan2 => firewall => vlan3(lan) Because of the fact that the firewall will be transparent, this should be no problem to place it between the vlans. The actual problem is how to manage this. In simple words, I should be able to replace the firewall with a cross-cable and it should still work. Cisco for an example has a SVI solution for this, but I can't find such thing for a Foundry router. Can someone give me some advise or examples ?
