We currently have two separate networks:
Network 1: managed by our IT provider.
Network 2: managed by another provider until 2027. It’s a smaller setup with its own firewall and fiber line.
The goal is to make these two networks serve as backups for each other: if the internet line of Network 1 goes down, traffic should automatically fail over to Network 2 (and vice versa).
At the same time, the two LANs should remain separate — we don’t want full merging of the networks, just shared internet redundancy.
Has anyone set up this kind of scenario before? Would SD-WAN on Fortigate firewalls be the right approach here, so that both networks stay independent but can still take over each other’s internet connectivity in case of an outage?
