PowerConnect 6248 VLAN Routing
Planning on replacing our current Juniper Netscreen NS-25 with a Juniper SRX 220H. Currently have two Dell Switch Stacks, SW-1 and SW-2. The Dell stacks handle all the VLAN routing between VLAN 1 and VLAN 10.
My question is, would you recommend moving the VLAN routing from the Dell switches to the Juniper SRX or just leave it on the Dell switches. What would be the disadvantages to routing all the LAN traffic through the firewall. I am wondering if the routing would be any faster on the SRX as opposed to the Dell.
Thanks!

Is your dell stack the default gateway of the clients as well? If so, there is one thing to consider: your default gateway is more redundant on the dell stack than a single firewall. If both VLANs are trusted, there is no need to put a firewall between te VLANs, so I would go for leaving the current VLAN routing on the dell stack to prevent a single point of failure.

The firewall is currently my default gateway for the clients and servers on the native VLAN. I agree that moving the routing to the Juniper Firewall makes it a single point of failure.
