Hi Mike,
Can I ask a question regarding zones. I am hosting multiple hosted phone systems. Each system is on it’s own Vlan. Each Vlan has it’s own external IP address. If I were to put all of my Vlans into a zone, how would I be able to source nat?
You would enable central NAT table (try on lab environment first) or you would have policies for those specific devices that would have custom NATs (which means you lose a little bit of the streamlining of policies you would see with Zones but it isn’t a huge issue for that use case.
Now that a year has gone by since this video and the release of 7.0 is upon us, do you still stand by the use of policy based vs profile based? Why/why not?
