According to the VMware NSX Documentation, these are two of the ways that you can use to configure Distributed Firewall on VDS:

• NSX API: This is a RESTful API that allows you to programmatically configure and manage Distributed Firewall on VDS using HTTP methods and JSON payloads. You can use tools such as Postman or curl to send API requests to the NSX Manager node.
• NSX UI: This is a graphical user interface that allows you to configure and manage Distributed Firewall on VDS using menus, tabs, buttons, and forms. You can access the NSX UI by logging in to the NSX Manager node using a web browser.

The answer is A. SR is instantiated and automatically connected with DR.

SR stands for Service Router and DR stands for Distributed Router. They are components of the NSX Edge node that provide different functions1

The SR is responsible for providing stateful services such as NAT, firewall, load balancing, VPN, and DHCP. The DR is responsible for providing distributed routing and switching between logical segments and the physical network1

When a stateful service is enabled for the first time on a Tier-0 Gateway, the NSX Edge node automatically creates an SR instance and connects it with the existing DR instance. This allows the stateful service to be applied to the traffic that passes through the SR before reaching the DR2

According to the VMware NSX 4.x Professional Exam Guide, understanding the SR and DR components and their functions is one of the exam objectives3

To learn more about the SR and DR components and how they work on the NSX Edge node, you can refer to the following resources:

• VMware NSX Documentation: NSX Edge Components 1
• VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NSX Edge Architecture
• VMware NSX 4.x Professional: NSX Edge Routing

According to the VMware NSX Documentation, Switch Visualization is a feature in the NSX UI that shows the mapping between the virtual NIC and the host’s physical adapter for virtual machines running on an ESXi transport node. You can use Switch Visualization to view details such as port ID, MAC address, VLAN ID, IP address, MTU, port state, port speed, port type, and port group for each virtual NIC and physical adapter.
