5V0-41.21 Practice Exam Questions with Answers VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.1 Security Certification

Endpoint Protection (EPP) integrations with NSX-T Data Center typically involve installing a security agent on the virtual machines (VMs) in the environment. This agent communicates with the NSX-T Data Center platform to provide security features such as antivirus and intrusion detection.

In order for the agent to work properly, it is important that the correct drivers are installed on the VMs. Typically, this is done by installing VMware tools on the VMs, which provides the necessary drivers. However, in a brownfield environment, the VMs may already have VMware tools installed and the drivers may not be the correct version for the agent to work properly. In this case, it is recommended to perform a custom install of VMware tools and select the drivers specifically for the agent.

NSX Distributed Firewall is used to create firewall rules to control traffic between networks.

For further reading, see the VMware NSX-T Data Center Administration Guide (https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-T-Data-Center/index.html#com.vmware.nsxt.admin.doc/GUID-4B6A4A87-F9C7-4AAB-923F-C6B84C33AF7D.html)  for more information on configuring firewall rules.

The message ID that will allow the administrator to track changes on firewall security rules is "FIREWALL". This message ID is part of the NSX-T3.1 documentation and will be used to log any changes made to the firewall security policy. This will allow the administrator to easily audit and track any changes made to the policy.

The first object that must be created in the distributed firewall is a firewall policy. A firewall policy is a set of rules that define what traffic is allowed or blocked on a given network. When creating a policy, the administrator must specify the source and destination address and port, as well as the type of traffic that is allowed or blocked. The policy will then be applied to the distributed firewall, allowing it to enforce the rules specified in the policy.
