Hi,

 

 

Its strange i didn't get any reply. I have another solution for the sandwich configuration with two firewalls in between. The external pair of F5 will have performance layer 4 virtual server configured with pool members of the interfaces of the internal firewalls (not the external firewalls that is close to external F5s). In this way the monitor will monitor the whole path upto internal firewall. The monitor will show the firewall path as down in case if any of the external or internal firewalls goes down.

 

 

I will really appreciate if anyone can comments on this approach to monitor two firewalls in between the two F5s.

 

 

Regards,
