Hi Sumit,

Do you mean that the vendor plugin-agent must be capable of mapping this
quantum firewall instance and support both physical firewall and virtual
firewall deployments.?

I know that tenant will not have any visibility on physical/virtual
firewall. I think we need to have more robust architecture for firewall so
that it can be adapted to the DC networks.

Regards,
Balaji.P
