NSX IDS/IPS with VLAN Segment

Hello Team.

It is possible uses NSX IDS/IPS with VLAN Segment? Or it's necessary/mandatory to use Overlay Segment to implement NSX IDS/IPS?

If my understanding is right, the IDS/IPS is apply after the traffic being "approved" by DFW even if this is a VLAN Segment traffic.

Your understanding is correct. This IDS/IPS engine is part of the distributed firewall, which does not require NSX overlay segments to function.
