Hello ppl,

I'm trying to put PacketFence in my network but I've a lot of doubts on how to 
implement in my "strange" scenario.

Today I've one public external IP, a firewall with static routes, and a Nortel 
Layer-3 Switch doing all the routing to my subnets.

I don't have NAT in my network. So the diagram of my Network is:

WAN ===> iptables Firewall ===> Nortel ===> Subnets

The first question is: where to put PacketFence? Between the Firewall and the 
Nortel Switch? Remove the Firewall?

A pratical example with fake IP numbers:

My WAN IP is 123.123.12.34 and my Firewall IP is 123.123.24.1; my Nortel have a 
lot of IP's addresses, since its servicing 8 /24 networks:

123.123.24.1
123.123.25.1
123.123.26.1
123.123.127.1
123.123.128.1
123.123.129.1
123.123.130.1
234.234.254.1

The second question is: two network cards can handle this? Do I need more?

The last question: there's a way to test everything without putting my network 
in downtime?

Thanks for any help,
Vinícius Ferrão

PS: At a first moment I considered Inline mode, after an answer from Francois 
Gaudreault I was convinced to use only VLAN Enforcement, but due money 
limitations we cannot proceed with 100% VLAN Enforcement. We have a lot of 
public IP addresses and only two switches capable of Port Security, 802.1x and 
etc.

PPS: I'm aware of this documentation pointed by Francois Gaudreault: 
http://www.packetfence.org/support/faqs/article/how-can-we-route-instead-of-nat-through-packetfence-in-inline-enforcement.html?no_cache=1&cHash=0739887ba98b66cf34c141c7e9773cb3;
 I just don't know how to continue.
