Virtual Systems in Layer 2

[roshithw]

Existing network as shown above in Fig:1 (Attched)..

·         Each device has its redundancy as shown above (Active/Passive) except for the IPS.

·         Each service has two servers to ensure the redundancy.

·         Routing is done by the Load balancer.

·         IPS will check all the traffic which is passing across.

·         L2 Switch will broadcast the traffic.

·         Load Balancer will direct the traffic using their IP subnets.

·         Virtual Systems is the major requirement.

Questions:

1. Where can I position the firewall?
2. Each Service has to get their own virtual system. What will be the deployment method? Virtual system administrator is only allowed to see its own traffic. They currently have 3 services but it will expand up to 20 services. Physical ports cannot assign to each service. L2 deployment is what they ask for.
3. Active/passive has to be there in order to ensure the redundancy. How will be the session synchronization, when one virtual system fails what will happen?
4. If I need to deploy the firewall with all features mentioned above will it be possible to deploy in L2 mode?

Please someone help me on this matter.. ..

Thanks.

Hello

I would recommend that you contact your local SE or distributor and have them go over were you should add the PAN devices.

Thanks
