Hello, everybody.
I am configuring a VM-300 Virtual Firewall on a KVM installed in CentOS.
The dedicated server where the virtual firewall is installed has two network cards.
One of which connects to the Internet and the other with which it connects to a switch to which other servers are connected.
My intention is for all incoming and outgoing traffic to pass through the firewall.
Certainly all servers, have their own public ip, and their future virtualized systems in them will also have their public ips.
Can someone please tell me what kind of configuration would be appropriate for this scenario?
For the moment, without being very sure I have thought that I should follow a Layer3 configuration, and I am doing steps as they are referred to in this guide.
Getting-Started-Layer-3-NAT-and-DHCP
Am I on the right track or will this guide not apply to my scenario?
Greetings and thanks

If all your internal servers will get a private IP on their physical interface and have the firewall perform NAT, then your layer3 design will work perfectly
If it is your intention to assign each host a public IP on it's interface, then you may need to consider a vwire or layer2 design
