Service Composer is a component within NSX that allows the automation of security policy. In this video demonstration I will show you how to use Service Composer to configure a security policy that can isolate a virtual machine if a virus is found.
NSX Manager can be integrated with Active Directory to allow Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules to be applied based on the used identity. In this video I will demonstrate how AD based security groups can be used with the DFW to allow access for the SSH protocol.
In this video demonstration I will configure the Distributed Firewall (DFW) to permit access to RDP only for a group of virtual machines. Using dynamic security groups within NSX manger allows new virtual machines meeting the criteria to be automatically protected when they are provisioned.
In this video I will use security groups created in a previous demonstration to create a simple rule to block ping from a group of virtual machines.
In this video I will walk through creating 3 type of security groups that can be used alongside the distributed firewall (DFW) to protect virtual machines.
I’ve had many discussions with our customers about the benefits of migrating to the vCenter Appliance so I’m using this opportunity to put into practice what I preach.
Continuing from where we left off in part 2 the next step is to prepare the hosts. Host preparation simply means installing several VIBS to each of the hosts within the cluster to enable functionality such a distributed firewall, distributed routing and VXLAN.
This part will cover deploying NSX Controllers to the environment. These are responsible for control plane information for all logical networks as well as maintaining VTEP, MAC and ARP tables.
Following from Part 1 the NSX Manger virtual machine should now be running and accessible via the web interface. To begin the configuration login to the NSX Manager Virtual Appliance using the admin account.
