In the following scenarios, the VM-Series firewall secures traffic destined to the servers on the network. It works
in conjunction with the NetScaler VPX to manage traffic before or after it reaches the NetScaler VPX.

Scenario 1—Secure North-South Traffic

Scenario 2—Secure East-West Traffic
Scenario 1—Secure North-South Traffic
To secure north-south traffic, you have the following options:

VM-Series Firewall Between the NetScaler VPX and the Servers

VM-Series Firewall Before the NetScaler VPX
VM-Series Firewall Between the NetScaler VPX and the Servers
The perimeter firewall gates all traffic in to the network. All traffic permitted into the network flows through
the NetScaler VPX and then through the VM-Series firewall before the request is forwarded to the servers.
In this scenario, the VM-Series firewall secures north-south traffic and can be deployed using virtual wire, L2,
or L3 interfaces.

VM-Series Firewall with L3 Interfaces

VM-Series Firewall with L2 or Virtual Wire Interfaces
