Sorry for being curt, but I think we would need a little more
information as to what you are trying to protect and from whom.  

Firewalls are designed to separate LANs of differing risk and user
groups, but your email seems to lack <any> clarification of where your
users sit in relation to the data you wish to protect.

Hi,

Question - 

What is the best logical placement for firewall in
large network?

If I have 3000+ user organisation with both core and
access switch available, will i connect my firewall to
core switch or access switch ? and why ?

Thanks
-Mubin
