All,
I am in the midst of building a secondary firewall. Can I connect the LAN interface of the new firewall to my current network, so I can get the updates?
Thanks,
Steve
Yes, just add another gateway in System : Gateways : Single, point to your primary and set this as upstream.
Do I connect the LAN side or WAN side of the new firewall?
LAN to LAN
Can this connection go through a switch or does it have to be NIC to NIC?
Maybe we are crosstalking. You set up Backup Firewall with different LAN IP and instead of creating a gateway in WAN you create one on interface LAN with IP of primary
