New to VMware NSX, need to separate set of servers from other

Hi

I am new to Vmware NSX- T and have been assigned the task to separate a set of servers from other servers and users zone

Just wonder if someone can help point me to right direction how to set that up?

The company already got NSX T setup with transport zone, firewall, gateway, distributed switch, segmentation

I believe I will need to create a separate segmentation, put all servers i want to isolate into this segment and create inbound/outbound rule?

Hi,

Yes, that can be about it.
NSX-T is flexible. It can also separate the servers that are in the same segment (micro-segmenting)
This means for example.
- 10 webservers in 1 segment, same ip-subnet. With the NSX-T distributed firewall, you will be able to block traffic even between te 10 servers

See page 111 of the reference design guide for more background information.
