multiple firewalls
LockedHi, I’m confused on something. I was always told you should only a have one firewall on a network. Yet I want to say I’ve been in buildings that have a hardware firewall but still have firewall software on their workstations. At least that’s what it appears to be. I thought the hardware firewall was supposed to protect all the pcs on the network. Am I missing something. I’m beginning to think who ever told me that was thinking of just a small network with a few users. It would make since to have more than just one if you have a large network. I can imagine on a large network with several building you might even have a hardware firewall at each location. I can see the how somebody would say that the firewalls would get in the way with each other but then again, I can’t. Any type of clarity on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
