SSLi in perimeter

Has anyone placed SSli in perimeter with ISP cables connected to it. I need decrypted traffic for my proxy & Perimeter firewall. Re-encryption happens after perimeter firewall.

Can I keep the NAT, ISP IP, routing in perimeter firewall itself. SSLi-Out would have ISP cables connected and recencryption happening

    Yes, SSLi Outside may be placed on the outside of your perimeter firewall, and I have seen this topology deployed in production. The SSLi Outside is configured in L2 ip-less mode. All sessions on SSLi Outside will show the NAT IP address as the source IP address.

    Thank you, if am doing HA for SSLi can it still placed as L2 ip-less mode.

    You can still do HA in L2 ip-less, but there will be no floating IP's. Typically switches and spanning tree are required to create the redundant paths in a loop-free topology. Another option is to use a Bypass Switch such as Garland or Ixia.
