So, I would ask you to recommend a topology and configuration for the ports which will be used to connect the firewall with two public IPs (WAN 1 and WAN 2) ... Regarding the Public IPs, They are two subnets /29... So, I would assign one public IP from each subnet to the firewall. | |

| Jul 18, 2017 at 17:44 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | Well if you don't know the credentials of the switches, you cannot configure them. You probably want a VLAN for each ISP network (assuming the two connections are separate networks), or one VLAN if the two connections use the same network. You will need to be able to log into the switches to create the VLAN(s). | |

| Jul 18, 2017 at 17:05 | comment | added | Basem Abdulrahem | No, Not Need BGP... I updated the network diagram as you recommended... The circumstance is that The two fiber cables from ISP are connected to the Cisco switch then a single connection to the next Cisco Switch, Then Single connection to the Firewall. The firewall has two WAN connection (WAN1 and WAN2)... Actually, I don't know the credentials of both Cisco and I would replace them But The problem is How can I configure the new two switches to make everything works as it is? | |

| Jul 18, 2017 at 14:50 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | I'm not convinced that your network design is really correct. If you are going to introduce a SPoF (Single Point of Failure) by using the single switch, then why not just use a single firewall for both ISP connections? Then, you could eliminate the (unprotected) switch. Also, if the firewalls are doing the routing, why do you need routers inside the firewalls? Also, you don't normally connect the hosts directly to the routers. Could it be that those are switches? I believe you may be overthinking this. I would probably go with a single firewall and layer-3 switches inside for the routing. | |

| Jul 17, 2017 at 22:49 | comment | added | Ron Maupin♦ | That depends on several factors. You need to give us more information. We don't even know what the switch model is, so there is no way to give you a configuration, but we also need to know a lot more about the ISP connection. Is it a single connection to one ISP, multiple connections to one ISP, or single connections to two ISPs? Can the firewalls be configured as transparent firewalls? You need to include all the relevant information. | |
