Overview: 

• In this demonstration, I will be setting up the interfaces of the Corporate and Branch Site LAN devices and firewalls
• The Corporate Site LAN is focused on Cisco hardware with a XG135 Sophos Firewall as the WAN termination device
• The Branch Site LAN is focused on Ubiquiti hardware with a XG125 Sophos Firewall as the WAN termination device

Corporate Site LAN Setup 

Overview

• For the Corporate Site LAN Cisco devices, the goal is to configure the interface types (access or trunk ports) and VLANs 
• The Sophos Firewall will be also be configured with the appropriate VLANs in addition to the WAN interface 
• To demonstrate and utilize different configuration approaches, I will configure the Cisco Catalyst 3560-CG using the IOS CLI and configure the Cisco Catalyst 1000 using the Web Management interface

Branch Site LAN Setup 

Overview

• For the Branch Site LAN UniFi devices, the goal is to configure the interface types (access or trunk ports) and VLANs
• The Branch site also consists of a Sophos Firewall and will be configured with the appropriate VLANs in addition to its WAN interface
• To configure the Ubiquiti devices, I will going through the process of adopting the Ubiquiti devices to my Cloud Controller instance and then manage the devices through the hosted Cloud Controller
