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.

RSA SecureID: RSA SecureID is a commonly used two-factor authentication (2FA) system that can integrate with VMware Identity Manager for enhanced security during authentication, making it a suitable AAA system for user authentication.

LDAP and OpenLDAP based on Active Directory (AD): VMware Identity Manager can integrate with LDAP and OpenLDAP directories, including Active Directory (AD), for centralized user authentication. This allows users to authenticate against an organization's directory service.

For a 3-node NSX Manager cluster, all nodes must be within the same subnet to ensure proper communication and functionality between them.

A compute manager must be configured before adding nodes to the cluster, as it provides the necessary integration between the NSX Manager and the underlying virtualization infrastructure (such as vSphere or vCenter).

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.
