Hello Everyone,
I've read through a lot of documentation and white papers but I cant seem to find out exactly how this works. At our datacenter we've been hosting a multi-tenant system separated by distributed switch port-groups and VLAN's running within vSphere.
We are adding in some new infrastructure and will be deploying vCloud Director but I cant seem to figure out exactly how people are incorperating the external networking. From what I understand vShield Edge is deployed as a software firewall, from this can we completely bypass our existing hardware firewalls?
This is how we would like to see it if possible
Boarder switches with BGP -> Internal network switch ports with a VLAN tag -> Distributed switch Portgroup with the same VLAN Tag -> vShield Edge
Is that how it works? Can we simply bypass our firewall and use vShield Edge as a firewall that picks up our external IP Subnet and passes out addresses?
Thanks!
