VMware NSX

Hello,

One question.

if i implement agentless antivirus solution, does all the protected VM's need to connect a logical network(VXLAN network)?

Actually i don't want to use NSX virtual network, but NSX is the requirement of Trend Micro deep security deployment as the VCNS is obsoleted, can i only deploy the NSX manager and controllers and continue to have the protected VM's connect to the vDS protgroup(Not NSX logical network) ?

No -it is not mandatory to connect to VXLAN port-group,you can connect to VLAN port groups as well. Just make ensure they are provisioned/connected on a DVS backed port-group.

Sreec,

Does it mean the vDS, NSX manager, NSX controllers and guest introspection driver are the only requirements ?  And  i can deploy deep sedurity solution without any NSX logical network ? Even without any VTEP ?

Controllers are also not required for this.

Last question, do i need a valid NSX license for agentless antivirus solution ? If no license is required, how can i activiate the NSX manager ?

Guest introspection doesn't need NSX license, if you have vSphere essential license or above it will work.
