Re: LVS Firewall Clustering

[Sebastien BRIZE <sebastien.brize@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A simple but expensive way is to use a couple of Routing Switches 
(L3/L4)  and double-attachement switches
using RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) for the Switches attachement 
and MRP (Metro Ring Protocol)
(or even RSTP) between both Routing switches.

RS1 ------ RS2
  |                 |
 S1             S2
  |                 |
FW1          FW2

RS1 and RS2 may be in different sites, and each equipment may have to 
power supply...
This much more expensive than a cable though... arf
