Title: LOAD BALANCE APPLIANCE WITH ENDIAN FIREWALL
Post by: gucalves on Friday 29 July 2016, 12:40:31 am
Hi, I'm using a load balance router with firewall (TPLINK RTL+480t) but unfortunatelly this is not effective to block https domains, that's why I would like to start using Endian but keeping this router to balance my internet links.
I'm a little confused on how to configure both devices, I'm thinking on doing as follows:

1) Change the ip address of my load balance router from 10.2.0.1 to 192.168.1.1
2) Redirect all the the traffic from the load balance to Endian on the RED ZONE
3) To do this I'm thinking in setup Endian as following:
Green Interface:  10.2.0.1
Red Interface: 192.168.1.2 (Gateway will be the load balance ip: 192.168.1.1)
Blue Interface: 10.2.1.1 (for wireless devices)
4) Synchronize Endian with my Active Directory
5) Keep using DHCP server of Windows 2008 Server

Is it right?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
you have to connect the TPLINK on the RED interface of the EFW and configure transparent proxy on green for http and https and configure content and antivirus filtering for block sites so you don't need to connect to the AD.

You do not need to redirect the traffic from the TPLINK to the RED because the TPLINK act as a router but if you have public server with services like www, mail or ftp you need to configure the ORANGE too and make some arrangements on the TPLINK to forward that services to the RED ZONE of the firewall and in the EFW the relative firewall port forwarding.

If I understand your question.
