User Visibility on MX

Naresh Karthick S — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 04:08:29 GMT

Hi,

We are planning to configure Core switch as user VLAN gateway and creating transit VLAN between MX and MS switch.

I want to know, if we configure like this, is it possible to get the L7 user traffic visibility in MX.

Yes.

Also, use the unique client identifier options when selecting client tracking.

On a different issue, note that you can't use per-device group policies that contain MX options (like firewall rules). Such group policies can only be used when the clients use the MX as their default gateway.

Site to site VPN will work fine.
