Transparent mode WAN and LAN on same network
Hi folks,
perhaps this is some kind of a strange question:
If I had a LAN-Network which is connected to a FGT in NAT mode and then to a router, finally to the internet, is it possible to use an additional Fortigate in transparent Mode between the LAN and the Fortigate in NAT mode.
That way:
LAN <-> FGT in transparent mode <-> Fortigate in NAT mode <-> Router <-> Internet?
The lan-port of the FGT in transparent mode will get an IP from the local network, thats clear.
But which IP will I have to assign to the WAN-Port of the FGT in transparent mode? Because the LAN and WAN port of the FGT in transparent mode, will be on the same network.
LAN 192.168.10.x -> Gateway (=Forti in NAT Mode) = 192.168.10.254
So the transparent FGT will be in the 192.168.10.x network (both interfaces LAN and WAN).
Is it possible to do something like this?
Edit: In fact, the more I think about it, it can only work that way. (LAYER2)
Thanks!
