L3 VLAN Routing

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I have upgraded my core switching to include L3 routing functionality. I have also moved to vlans for my collision domains. I have 4 vlans...1, 10(wireless), 20(wired streaming), and 30(servers). I could continue to use my firewall as the router on a stick, but I want to move that to the core switches and let the firewall be a firewall/IDS/IPS/Proxy.

Do you advise this setup or am I barking up a tree with inter-vlan routing on the switches. I bought two Netgear GS108Tv3 switches, which will be stacked together.

Thanks,
Steve

And where is OPNsense located? Just between WAN and your L3 Switch? If routing is done on your switch, packets between vlans don't have to pass OPNsense any more. So there is no firewall between your vlans.
