CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A web application server needs reliable and secure connectivity to a MySQL database server within an internal network.

Key decisions

  • Using a core switch to provide direct layer-2 connectivity between the web and database servers.
  • Placing a firewall at the network edge to filter traffic before it reaches internal servers.

When to reuse this

Use this layout when documenting a typical three-tier web application infrastructure where the database server is on the same LAN segment behind a firewall.
