Distributed Firewall on VDS is a feature of NSX-T Data Center that allows users to install Distributed Security for vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) without the need to deploy an NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS). This feature provides NSX security capabilities such as Distributed Firewall (DFW), Distributed IDS/IPS, Identity Firewall, L7 App ID, FQDN Filtering, NSX Intelligence, and NSX Malware Prevention. To enable this feature, the following requirements must be met in the environment:

The NSX version must be 3.2 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports Distributed Security for VDS.

The VDS version must be 6.6.0 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports the NSX host preparation operation that activates the DFW with the default rule set to allow.

Overview of NSX IDS/IPS and NSX Malware Prevention

The esxcli network firewall ruleset set -r syslog -e true command is used to enable the firewall ruleset for syslog on an ESXi host. Setting the -e flag to true allows syslog traffic through the ESXi firewall, enabling remote logging for syslog messages from the transport node.

To support Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing in an NSX environment, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) must be used for failover detection. BFD is a rapid failure detection protocol that works with ECMP to provide fast failure detection between routers. It helps in detecting link failures more quickly than traditional protocols, ensuring that traffic is routed through available paths as quickly as possible.
