Make Sense of Weird Firewall Config

Post Body

We acquired another company (small) that has a Sophos firewall and an Aruba switch which was managed by an MSP. Can someone help explain to me why they would have done this? I asked the MSP and they have no idea, and they set it up.

Managed Aruba switch but every port is on same VLAN. 192.168.0.0/24

Firewall has two LAN interfaces.

Port 1 is configured 192.168.0.0/24 hooked up to Aruba. Makes sense

Port 2 is configured 192.168.1.0/24 and hooked up to same Aruba switch. Doesn’t make sense. Who would configure it like this unless they had a separate VLAN configured?
