Combining a VeloCloud and a Firewall

Anyone know how you would do this?

Is it VeloCloud > FW or FW > VeloCloud ?

It depends on your design.

  • Is your VCE going to tunnel packets to internet or they will go direct.
  • If FW needs to inspect original frames then you need FW before packet is encapsulated into VCE tunnel
  • One of my customer uses Velocloud only for MPLS overlays, and any internet bound traffic is sent direct to FW and then to ISP.

Solution can work both ways (VeloCloud > FW or FW > VeloCloud), just your requirements will decide what to do.
