About This Architecture

Enterprise three-tier network topology with Palo Alto perimeter firewall, H3C core switches in HA, and distributed access layer serving office LAN and DMZ zones. ISP broadband connects through PA-VM-300 FW01 to a redundant core layer (CORE01/CORE02 stacked 10GE), which distributes traffic via L3 switches (DIST01/DIST02) to four access switches serving PCs, wireless APs, and servers. This architecture demonstrates defense-in-depth with trust/untrust zone separation, VLAN segmentation (DMZ on VLAN 10, office on VLANs 20/30/40), and high-availability core switching. Network architects can fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize switch models, add redundant firewall pairs, or adjust VLAN schemes for their environment. The design supports scalable office expansion and secure server isolation while maintaining sub-millisecond core convergence.

How do I design a three-tier enterprise network with firewall DMZ segmentation and redundant core switches?

This diagram shows a three-tier topology where ISP traffic enters through a Palo Alto PA-VM-300 firewall, splits to DMZ servers and redundant H3C core switches, then distributes via L3 switches to access layers serving office workstations and wireless APs across VLANs 10, 20, 30, and 40. The stacked core (CORE01/CORE02) provides HA and 10GE uplinks, while L3 distribution switches (DIST01/DIST02) r
