can i implemet a distributed firewall in cisco asa

[nachiappapark1]

hi

i would like to know, is it possible to implement a distributed firewall with help of cisco asav firewall?

The ASAv instances can reside in multiple hypervisors in different location in your network. So that's distributed in a sense. However they do not have any awareness of one another per se.

If you instantiate them using some sort of orchestration toolset (perhaps in a service chaining concept) then the overall system could be described as distributed.

thanks for the reply, can you please explain more about the orchestration toolset or can you direct me in the right direction, it would be really helpfull

That's a big topic.

I'd suggest getting started by looking at something like Cisco Live presentation BRKSDN-2065.
