Fire-station dispatch VMs on an ESXi host need their east-west frames forwarded and Distributed Firewall enforced at the vNIC. Which component's role is that data-plane work?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The prepared host is the intersection cop: it forwards the dispatch VMs' packets and checks the Distributed Firewall at the vNIC. Manager writes the policy; it does not become every production switch. vCenter HA and Horizon Client are not that data plane.
Full Explanation
A host transport node's data plane forwards tenant packets and enforces distributed services such as overlay switching, distributed routing, and Distributed Firewall at the vNIC. NSX Manager programs desired state; it does not switch every production frame. vCenter HA restarts VMs after a host failure. Horizon Client is an EUC endpoint, not the hypervisor DFW engine.
