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 ?
With that little information there's no reasonable answer to your questions. What do you need the firewall to do? What does your network topology look like? What is it supposed to look like? Which networks will be connected to the firewall? Do you have servers you need to protect? Which services are they running? Who needs access to them? ...
