We manage and maintain our own mpls network. Branches are set up with a router on a stick setup, but with a firewall. Think along the lines of a 5512x pair with a L2 switch stack.
Internet breakout is centrally managed - LAN/MPLS to a DC then off out to the internet via a pair of Palo altos.
I want to put some different options to my boss in regards to future connectivity for new offices. I can't see why we should spend £5-10k for office firewalls when all they are doing is a bit of L3 routing.
We could just go with a L3 switch stack?
Any downsides to moving away from deploying firewalls in all our offices?
