Suggested Answer: B, D

Distributed Firewall on VDS is a feature of NSX-T Data Center that allows users to install Distributed Security for vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) without the need to deploy an NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS). This feature provides NSX security capabilities such as Distributed Firewall (DFW), Distributed IDS/IPS, Identity Firewall, L7 App ID, FQDN Filtering, NSX Intelligence, and NSX Malware Prevention. To enable this feature, the following requirements must be met in the environment:

The NSX version must be3.2 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports Distributed Security for VDS.

The VDS version must be6.6.0 and later1. This is the minimum version that supports the NSX host preparation operation that activates the DFW with the default rule set to allow.

I vaguely remember that VDS version 6.6.0 is important, but I can't remember if it needs to be later than that or if 6.6.0 is sufficient.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like NSX 3.2 was mentioned as a must-have. I hope that's right!

I think vCenter 8.0 is definitely a requirement, but I can't recall if VDS needs to be a specific version or if any version works.

I remember something about NSX versions, but I'm not sure if it was 3.0 or 3.2 that was required for the distributed firewall.

I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to review the material on Distributed Firewall and VDS to make sure I understand the specific version requirements. Better to take my time and get it right.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answers are B and D. NSX 3.2 or later is required, and VDS 6.6.0 or later is needed as well. The other choices don't seem to be relevant.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking about the requirements, so I need to look for the minimum versions of vCenter, NSX, and VDS that are needed to use Distributed Firewall on VDS.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between NSX versions 3.0 and 3.2. I'll need to double-check the documentation to make sure I understand which one is required.

This looks like a straightforward question about the requirements for using Distributed Firewall on VDS. I think the key is to focus on the specific versions mentioned in the answer choices.

This question is making me hungry. I wonder if they serve distributed firewall-flavored snacks at the exam center?

Hmm, let's see... NSX 3.2 or later, and VDS 6.6.0 or later. Easy as pie! Or is it cake? I always get those mixed up.

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, who would use a distributed firewall without updating the network and vSphere environment? That's like trying to run Windows 95 on a quantum computer.
