A city wants to stop sending east-west traffic between library VMs out to a hardware firewall and back. Which NSX Data Center benefit matches that use case?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hairpinning is like sending two clerks on the same floor out through the street and back just to talk. NSX inspects at the vNIC in the hypervisor instead. That distributed enforcement is the benefit.
Full Explanation
NSX Distributed Firewall enforces policy in the hypervisor at the vNIC, so east-west traffic between library VMs does not have to hairpin to a physical firewall. That distributed in-kernel enforcement is the NSX Data Center benefit. Keeping a hardware hairpin, disabling DFW, or treating vMotion as a packet filter does not stop hairpinning.
