Scope: 

This project will provide geographic diversity for a more fault tolerant Internet border on the ASU enterprise IP network.

It would include two additional routers in diverse locations and allow for redundant hardware and routing between those locations and the Internet via another ISP provider.

The firewall diployment will be in an active passive mode.

This will incorporate the GeoMax circuits to provide diverse fiber paths between ASU and the Internet.

***This project does not provide for any additional security, anomaly detection or mitigation.***
