hi all,
i want to know if NSX FW is a real FW as a physical FW or he is only as a simple ACL
Thank you
The NSX-V DFW is stateful, not stateless, and offers greater protection that use stateless ACLs or reflexive ACLs.
Maybe for better explanation, it is a Stateful vs. Stateless Firewalls
NSX DFW are stateless FW which act like ACL. But the different are, it can use many object other than IP address. Which make it good for east west traffic and a goldilock FW.
