Is it possible to connect two routers to a single layer 3 network switch. The reason I ask is because our company currently has a few buildings located relatively close to each other. They are all connected with fibre links to each building (used for SFP modules)
Our main building has two lines, one corporate (172 ip address) and a public line (192 ip address). We have a HP Aruba e6412 ZL switch that currently has the corporate line connected via a Cisco router using a LAN cable and trunk links via SFP modules to the other buildings to provide corporate connectivity.
I'm wondering if it is possible to connect the second router used for public internet/wi-fi, by setting up VLANs on the HP Aruba switch and tagging the necessary ports, but I am led to believe a switch can only have one router providing DHCP (I wasn't able to add the default gateway of the second router to the switch)
My only alternative is setting up the second router on another switch, but I think this will be cumbersome as it will mean adding additional switches to the other buildings also.
My networking skills are a little limited when it comes to this so all suggestions are welcomed.
