Question
An IT security team is concerned about the authentication traffic patterns that may be required to integrate the private and public clouds. As a result, IT has elected to federate their active directory using ADFS from the private cloud to the public cloud. One of the design decisions is whether to use a Layer 2, 3, or 7 firewall / switch mechanism between the public and private clouds. There are trade-offs with each choice. Which network layer would best address this situation, and why?
Options
- ALayer 7, because it allows control at the application layer and is policy driven.
- BLayer 3, because it allows segment isolation while still providing high performance levels.
- CLayer 2, because it provides the simplest configuration to manage and it is easy to isolate and
- DLayer 2, because it provides the best performance and it is easy to isolate problems.
