WLAN Config

Hi,

Looking for some insights here.

We have two sites: Site A and Site B that are on different subnets, but connected via WLAN. I am using a port on the watchguards on each site as a router, configured as 10.10.10.0/30

What I'm looking to do is put a server at Site A from Site B that needs to be on the same subnet as Site B. It will be on its own independent switch airgapped from Site A's network, but still needs to be able to communicate back to Site B and be on the same subnet as Site B...effectively being connected to both sites via fibre WLAN.

Looking for the best way to configure both fireboxes to allow this, while still maintaining the inter-company traffic on the original WLAN connection.

  • The routing won't happen with your current setup.
    Traffic from site B will never leave site B for an IP addr on site B's subnet located anyplace else.
    You would need to have a bridge set up over the fibre between your current site B LAN switch and the new switch at site A.

    Or, you need to rethink the need for the this server at site A to be on the site B subnet. Perhaps a different subnet than is currently used at site A?

  • We've got the server at Site A because Site B has no offsite facility for it, and if there was a fire at that location, we'd wind up losing everything...there's not even a secure isolated place at site b...

    What I might be able to do, then, is get a hold of the ISP and enable another port on the fibre media converter for the site-to-site WLAN. That would go into the main top-level switch at Site B, then into an independent switch at Site A that's airgapped from our network.
