RE: Firewall positioning in Large Network

[Mubin Shaikh <mubines () yahoo com>]

Hi,

There is flat network (no VLAN). This firewall is the
ONLY firewall in network. This firewall's main
function is to protect internal network (trusted LAN)
from external world (internet). All the users are in
LAN.

Hope i am able to put all required information.

Regards
-Mubin
