Question about the use of firewall in the SD-Access factory

When creating SD-Access Fabric we use the transit-IP
I used switch nodes borders Cisco Catalyst 9500 and fusion (you can used Firewall to share the VRF)
either the firewall is not recommended as a fusion ???
for the wireless which recommended in the factory to use wirelless embedded in the border node or in the Edge node.

Khalil,

If you will use embedded wireless controller, it is better to have it in the Border Node.

Firewall as a fusion device is a good option, as long as it can take the vrf-lite handoff from the Border. If the firewall can support SGT-based policy, then that is even better.

Do you have a diagram of your proposed design that you can share?

Thanks for your feedback
I am creating our company factory design, please find attached our target architecture or i used as fusion (nexus switch 7K) but my manager help me who we can use firewall as fusion is better
You can send a link to a cisco site that talks about firewall as a fusion and the recommendation of cisco for the use of firewall as a fusion and wlc at the border node level
thank you for sending a cisco site link about the recommendation for the firewall and wlc

New FP with 6.6 or 6.7 code support i guess with VRF.

Khalil,

We have an SD-Access Cisco Validated Design (CVD) Guide here : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/solutions/CVD/Campus/cisco-sda-design-guide.html . It covers all areas of design.
