1
00:00.000 --> 00:03.470
In the previous video, we took a look at how NSX Intelligence could give us

2
00:03.470 --> 00:06.200
visibility into the traffic flows on our network.

3
00:06.200 --> 00:10.550
And in this video, you and I are going to have NSX Intelligence help us one

4
00:10.550 --> 00:11.400
more time,

5
00:11.400 --> 00:15.610
this time, by making recommendations about what we should have in place

6
00:15.610 --> 00:17.200
regarding firewall rules.

7
00:17.200 --> 00:19.600
And I'm curious about this unknown group right here.

8
00:19.600 --> 00:24.200
Let me go ahead and right click and take a look at IP addresses involved.

9
00:24.200 --> 00:29.400
OIC, so 10.1.2.3 is my logical D-HEP services instead of NSX.

10
00:29.400 --> 00:34.400
224 is a multicast address, and then I've got a link local address as well.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

10
00:29.400 --> 00:34.400
224 is a multicast address, and then I've got a link local address as well.

11
00:34.400 --> 00:35.000
All good.

12
00:35.000 --> 00:36.600
So we'll click on close there.

13
00:36.600 --> 00:40.040
And let's imagine that we want to control the traffic between our web servers

14
00:40.040 --> 00:41.000
and our clients.

15
00:41.000 --> 00:44.610
What we can do is right click on that link there that represents the flow and

16
00:44.610 --> 00:47.000
go to flow details just to confirm what they are.

17
00:47.000 --> 00:48.000
Fantastic.

18
00:48.000 --> 00:49.800
So this is the tab for completed flows.

19
00:49.800 --> 00:52.400
There's also a tab here for active flows may close that.

20
00:52.400 --> 00:55.800
So for the recommendations, let's right click here on our clients group.

21
00:55.800 --> 00:59.000
And I have some recommendations that I ran earlier, but let's go ahead and

22
00:59.000 --> 01:00.200
start some new ones by right here,
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

22
00:59.000 --> 01:00.200
start some new ones by right here,

23
01:00.200 --> 01:02.600
clicking on start recommendation from the dropdown.

24
01:02.600 --> 01:06.200
So I right clicked on this clients group and then from the menu system here

25
01:06.200 --> 01:07.200
under action,

26
01:07.200 --> 01:09.400
I'm going to click right here on start recommendation.

27
01:09.400 --> 01:13.080
So I'm going to name this recommendation name client group recommendation for

28
01:13.080 --> 01:13.400
demo.

29
01:13.400 --> 01:16.350
And this warning is to get take a few minutes to complete the lab environment

30
01:16.350 --> 01:17.000
isn't that big.

31
01:17.000 --> 01:18.600
So it shouldn't take that long.

32
01:18.600 --> 01:21.540
And then if we scroll down, we have the option for actually specifying the

33
01:21.540 --> 01:21.800
scope.

34
01:21.800 --> 01:25.000
And you know what? Let's do this. Let's modify the name here and let's go ahead

35
01:25.000 --> 01:29.800
and call this demo for clients and web servers group.

36
01:29.800 --> 01:33.120
And then for the actual entities in the scope, I'm going to go ahead and click
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

36
01:29.800 --> 01:33.120
And then for the actual entities in the scope, I'm going to go ahead and click

37
01:33.120 --> 01:34.000
on this hyperlink right here.

38
01:34.000 --> 01:37.070
Currently, I have one group because that's where I started and I want to go

39
01:37.070 --> 01:39.200
ahead and simply add a second group.

40
01:39.200 --> 01:42.400
So instead of just the clients, let me go ahead and do web servers.

41
01:42.400 --> 01:44.990
So for the recommendations it's going to make, it's going to include the

42
01:44.990 --> 01:47.800
clients group and its members there and the web servers.

43
01:47.800 --> 01:49.200
So then we'll click on save.

44
01:49.200 --> 01:53.170
So now it says two groups. And if we scroll down, here's the time range for the

45
01:53.170 --> 01:55.200
last hour, last 12 hours, etc.

46
01:55.200 --> 01:58.420
I'm going to choose the last hour. And then just for grants, let me expand

47
01:58.420 --> 02:00.200
advanced options as well.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

47
01:58.420 --> 02:00.200
advanced options as well.

48
02:00.200 --> 02:03.590
And then under advanced options, we have some additional nerd knobs that we can

49
02:03.590 --> 02:04.000
dial in.

50
02:04.000 --> 02:07.000
So we can go ahead and specify the traffic to analyze.

51
02:07.000 --> 02:10.400
Again, we have several options here. The ports and protocols to exclude.

52
02:10.400 --> 02:14.400
So by default, it's excluding the flows for multicast and broadcast.

53
02:14.400 --> 02:18.200
So if we wanted to include those, we can simply remove those as exclusions.

54
02:18.200 --> 02:22.350
And sometimes you may have a management system or a pen testing system out

55
02:22.350 --> 02:23.600
there that's authorized.

56
02:23.600 --> 02:27.600
You might want to exclude certain ports or protocols from the recommendations

57
02:27.600 --> 02:28.400
it's about to make.

58
02:28.400 --> 02:31.360
And then as we continue to scroll down, there's additional options regarding
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

58
02:28.400 --> 02:31.360
And then as we continue to scroll down, there's additional options regarding

59
02:31.360 --> 02:33.800
the rule recommendations and what the results are going to be.

60
02:33.800 --> 02:36.830
So as we continue to scroll down here, one of the options also is

61
02:36.830 --> 02:38.600
recommendation service type.

62
02:38.600 --> 02:43.400
So L4 services simply means recommendations based on layer three IP addresses

63
02:43.400 --> 02:45.400
and layer four protocols and ports,

64
02:45.400 --> 02:49.410
where if we said context profiles, it's actually looking at the application

65
02:49.410 --> 02:54.100
layer and making recommendations for our rules based on application layer

66
02:54.100 --> 02:54.800
information,

67
02:54.800 --> 03:00.800
such as is this really SSH or is this really SSL slash TLS versus is it just
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

67
02:54.800 --> 03:00.800
such as is this really SSH or is this really SSL slash TLS versus is it just

68
03:00.800 --> 03:05.800
using TCP port 443 or for SSH TCP port 22.

69
03:05.800 --> 03:09.080
So for the demo, I'm going to go ahead and leave all the advanced settings at

70
03:09.080 --> 03:09.800
their defaults.

71
03:09.800 --> 03:13.880
And what we're really just looking at is a recommendation for firewall policy

72
03:13.880 --> 03:17.000
rules regarding traffic concerning these two groups.

73
03:17.000 --> 03:19.000
So we'll click right here on start discovery.

74
03:19.000 --> 03:22.600
So now it's letting us know that the recommendations discovery has started and

75
03:22.600 --> 03:24.200
that if we want to check on its status,

76
03:24.200 --> 03:26.600
we can go to the recommendations tab.

77
03:26.600 --> 03:29.600
So I'm going to click on dismiss here and that recommendations tab.

78
03:29.600 --> 03:32.600
If we didn't click on the hyperlink of that message, it is under plan and
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

78
03:29.600 --> 03:32.600
If we didn't click on the hyperlink of that message, it is under plan and

79
03:32.600 --> 03:35.600
troubleshoot and on the left under discover and plan.

80
03:35.600 --> 03:38.000
It is right below discover and take action.

81
03:38.000 --> 03:41.000
So here is the recommendations section right here.

82
03:41.000 --> 03:43.000
So let's go ahead and click on recommendations.

83
03:43.000 --> 03:45.400
And here are a couple that I ran earlier.

84
03:45.400 --> 03:50.680
I did a test a little while ago and then I did yet another recommendation and I

85
03:50.680 --> 03:51.600
didn't apply it.

86
03:51.600 --> 03:54.200
And this is the entry right here that we just ran a moment ago.

87
03:54.200 --> 03:58.690
So here's the details for that recommendation that is currently processing over

88
03:58.690 --> 03:59.000
here.

89
03:59.000 --> 03:59.800
It has our two groups.

90
03:59.800 --> 04:03.200
If we click on that, it'll confirm for us what those groups are clients and web
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

90
03:59.800 --> 04:03.200
If we click on that, it'll confirm for us what those groups are clients and web

91
04:03.200 --> 04:03.800
servers.

92
04:03.800 --> 04:07.000
Great, great, great, and currently it shows us status of waiting.

93
04:07.000 --> 04:11.620
Let's click on refresh and in a moment or two or three that will change from

94
04:11.620 --> 04:14.400
waiting and it will show us that it's now processing.

95
04:14.400 --> 04:17.680
And then after processing, you'll eventually get to ready to publish where we

96
04:17.680 --> 04:21.600
can go ahead and review its recommendations and then decide to either edit and

97
04:21.600 --> 04:23.800
or push out those firewall rules.

98
04:23.800 --> 04:27.400
So let me click on refresh and sure enough discovery and progress.

99
04:27.400 --> 04:28.400
Okay, that looks good.

100
04:28.400 --> 04:32.460
And again, that may take anywhere between five and 30 minutes depending on your
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

100
04:28.400 --> 04:32.460
And again, that may take anywhere between five and 30 minutes depending on your

101
04:32.460 --> 04:33.000
topology.

102
04:33.000 --> 04:36.400
So we'll go ahead and give that a few minutes to complete right now.

103
04:36.400 --> 04:39.800
Actually, while it does, here are a couple of previous recommendations.

104
04:39.800 --> 04:43.450
And so as a sneak peek of what's about to happen, if we click on the three dots

105
04:43.450 --> 04:46.800
here, we have some options, including delete it, meaning I don't want this.

106
04:46.800 --> 04:50.700
Let's go ahead and not do it or let's go ahead and review the recommendations

107
04:50.700 --> 04:55.090
and then push them out or review the recommendations and then have it rerun the

108
04:55.090 --> 04:56.000
discovery.

109
04:56.000 --> 04:58.600
There's also options for exporting it as well.

110
04:58.600 --> 05:02.540
So while we're waiting for the one we just ran to finish, let's go ahead and
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

110
04:58.600 --> 05:02.540
So while we're waiting for the one we just ran to finish, let's go ahead and

111
05:02.540 --> 05:05.800
click on three dots here and click on review and publish.

112
05:05.800 --> 05:08.600
So we can also expand and shrink this as well.

113
05:08.600 --> 05:11.970
So the green lines represent in its recommendations, the fact that we're going

114
05:11.970 --> 05:15.200
to be controlling the traffic and agreeing represents that we're permitting it.

115
05:15.200 --> 05:16.400
So we're going to the recommendations here.

116
05:16.400 --> 05:19.400
Let me give us a little bit more room by bringing that up here.

117
05:19.400 --> 05:23.140
The recommendations it has for us so we can rename the policies and the

118
05:23.140 --> 05:26.400
individual rules and modify them as we desire.

119
05:26.400 --> 05:29.600
And then once we're done, we could go ahead and push them out.

120
05:29.600 --> 05:32.000
So this is on a little example I did earlier.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

120
05:29.600 --> 05:32.000
So this is on a little example I did earlier.

121
05:32.000 --> 05:35.610
Let me go ahead and click on cancel and let's take a look at our status for the

122
05:35.610 --> 05:36.600
one we just ran.

123
05:36.600 --> 05:38.000
So let me go ahead and refresh this.

124
05:38.000 --> 05:40.400
And again, that may take a few minutes to complete.

125
05:40.400 --> 05:44.800
So we'll come back to this point right here once the discovery is completed.

126
05:44.800 --> 05:48.400
All right, and it is done ready to publish.

127
05:48.400 --> 05:50.800
So let's take a look at the results.

128
05:50.800 --> 05:54.470
So we'll click on the three dots and we'll click right here on review and

129
05:54.470 --> 05:55.200
publish.

130
05:55.200 --> 05:58.400
So here in the recommended policy, it involves four rules.

131
05:58.400 --> 05:59.400
So here's our policy.

132
05:59.400 --> 06:00.600
We could actually rename this right here.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

132
05:59.400 --> 06:00.600
We could actually rename this right here.

133
06:00.600 --> 06:01.600
Let me go ahead and do that.

134
06:01.600 --> 06:04.600
So I'll call this from recommendation press enter there.

135
06:04.600 --> 06:07.400
And then for this first rule, I just call this rule one.

136
06:07.400 --> 06:10.200
So for the first rule, here's the source and destination.

137
06:10.200 --> 06:14.640
There's a services, AKA the ports and protocols involved and the action is

138
06:14.640 --> 06:15.200
allow.

139
06:15.200 --> 06:18.130
And if we go down to rule two, let me go ahead and rename that so it's a little

140
06:18.130 --> 06:19.200
bit easier to read.

141
06:19.200 --> 06:22.830
And in a production environment, we want to go ahead and name these rules

142
06:22.830 --> 06:23.800
something meaningful.

143
06:23.800 --> 06:25.200
So when we see them, we'll know what they do.

144
06:25.200 --> 06:28.600
So for the source, we have our groups going anywhere looks like DNS.

145
06:28.600 --> 06:31.200
Again, we can click on the pencil and go in and edit that.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

145
06:28.600 --> 06:31.200
Again, we can click on the pencil and go in and edit that.

146
06:31.200 --> 06:34.030
And this rule is going to be applied to those two groups and that's allowing

147
06:34.030 --> 06:35.000
that traffic.

148
06:35.000 --> 06:37.400
And then we have rule three, which also be called rule three.

149
06:37.400 --> 06:40.400
And that's from the clients group going to anywhere.

150
06:40.400 --> 06:45.910
If those services are HTTP, NTP or HTTPS and that's being applied to the groups

151
06:45.910 --> 06:46.800
and if we scroll down,

152
06:46.800 --> 06:49.200
here's rule four, I'll call that rule four.

153
06:49.200 --> 06:52.340
And then for rule four, we have the source and destination again, you can go in

154
06:52.340 --> 06:53.600
, verify what those details are.

155
06:53.600 --> 06:55.000
And then edit as needed.

156
06:55.000 --> 06:57.750
Or if you don't want to rule, for example, you just go ahead and say, you know

157
06:57.750 --> 06:58.600
what, click on that one

158
06:58.600 --> 07:01.000
and delete that rule and not include it at all.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

158
06:58.600 --> 07:01.000
and delete that rule and not include it at all.

159
07:01.000 --> 07:04.800
So let's assume that we want to take all those as they are with the only change

160
07:04.800 --> 07:06.600
we made was renaming the rules

161
07:06.600 --> 07:08.600
and we'll click right here on proceed.

162
07:08.600 --> 07:12.260
So here it's recommending that we put this new policy that's coming from the

163
07:12.260 --> 07:15.000
recommendation above our existing rules

164
07:15.000 --> 07:17.800
because we have existing rules that are denying certain types of traffic.

165
07:17.800 --> 07:20.800
We want to make sure any permits here are going to be placed above.

166
07:20.800 --> 07:23.200
So we can reorder and we sequences if we want.

167
07:23.200 --> 07:26.200
We'll go ahead and take them as they are and click on publish.

168
07:26.200 --> 07:29.200
It's asking us if for sure we'll go ahead and click on yes.

169
07:29.200 --> 07:33.340
And it gives us a message that it's done is now pushed out those firewall rules
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

169
07:29.200 --> 07:33.340
And it gives us a message that it's done is now pushed out those firewall rules

170
07:33.340 --> 07:35.200
and we can see them under the security tab.

171
07:35.200 --> 07:37.200
So we'll go ahead and click on dismiss here.

172
07:37.200 --> 07:40.540
So next if we go to the security tab right here and on the left under policy

173
07:40.540 --> 07:43.200
management, let's go down to the distributed firewall.

174
07:43.200 --> 07:46.620
And here in the distributed firewall, you'll notice we have our policy and

175
07:46.620 --> 07:48.200
there's the four rules.

176
07:48.200 --> 07:51.870
So in the background, I still have our traffic flows being generated from our

177
07:51.870 --> 07:53.600
two mint Linux clients.

178
07:53.600 --> 07:56.920
Some traffic is going out to the internet still and some traffic is going

179
07:56.920 --> 07:58.200
between our web servers.

180
07:58.200 --> 08:01.050
So back here at Discover and Take Action, I also want to just give you a heads
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

180
07:58.200 --> 08:01.050
So back here at Discover and Take Action, I also want to just give you a heads

181
08:01.050 --> 08:03.200
up that I spent about 15 minutes

182
08:03.200 --> 08:07.200
continuing to generate traffic before I brought this graphic up.

183
08:07.200 --> 08:11.080
So if we go here to groups and we go to compute and we choose our mint

184
08:11.080 --> 08:13.400
computers and also our web servers,

185
08:13.400 --> 08:16.400
it's going to be one way of looking at that traffic flow will click and apply.

186
08:16.400 --> 08:21.290
So notice here the traffic from the mint computer going over to the web server

187
08:21.290 --> 08:24.800
at 1066 and also to the web server here at 1055.

188
08:24.800 --> 08:29.040
That traffic flow shows up as green, which if we hover over indicates that it's

189
08:29.040 --> 08:30.000
allowed traffic.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

190
08:30.000 --> 08:33.000
Also from those two mint computers is to go out to the internet.

191
08:33.000 --> 08:36.170
That traffic is being allowed as well based on the rules from the

192
08:36.170 --> 08:37.800
recommendation that we applied.

193
08:37.800 --> 08:40.910
And if we right click on that flow and then from the drop down choose flow

194
08:40.910 --> 08:41.400
details.

195
08:41.400 --> 08:45.570
It would give us details on what those flows are. So there's UDP traffic. There

196
08:45.570 --> 08:47.200
's some HTTP and HTTPS.

197
08:47.200 --> 08:50.200
And we can expand any of those sections to see more about that detail.

198
08:50.200 --> 08:54.000
So close that. Another way of looking that would be based on the groups.

199
08:54.000 --> 08:57.100
Now as part of the recommendations, it also made some new groups.

200
08:57.100 --> 09:01.070
So if we go back to inventory here and we go to groups, here's the two groups
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

200
08:57.100 --> 09:01.070
So if we go back to inventory here and we go to groups, here's the two groups

201
09:01.070 --> 09:03.200
that we created clients and web servers.

202
09:03.200 --> 09:06.710
And as part of the implementation of the recommendations, it created these

203
09:06.710 --> 09:09.500
groups for us, the group one and group two.

204
09:09.500 --> 09:13.170
And it use those groups as part of the rules. So if we go back to plan and

205
09:13.170 --> 09:16.200
troubleshoot and then left to discover and take action,

206
09:16.200 --> 09:19.770
we could go ahead and sort based on those groups as well. So from the drop down

207
09:19.770 --> 09:23.200
, we can say groups and then we could go ahead and choose those two groups.

208
09:23.200 --> 09:27.560
So I'll select both of those, click on apply. So this is right here between the

209
09:27.560 --> 09:30.900
clients group and we can right click on that just to verify the members there.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

209
09:27.560 --> 09:30.900
clients group and we can right click on that just to verify the members there.

210
09:30.900 --> 09:34.800
So that should be still the two mint VMs. That's great. And then here on this

211
09:34.800 --> 09:37.700
group right here, we'll right click and click on members.

212
09:37.700 --> 09:43.100
Who the heck is that? Oh, that's our DNS server inside of NSX at 10.1.2.3.

213
09:43.100 --> 09:46.220
And just to confirm that let's go to networking and on the left, go down to

214
09:46.220 --> 09:49.100
networking profiles and DHCP.

215
09:49.100 --> 09:53.500
And sure enough, 10.1.2.3 is the IP address I'm using for my DHCP services.

216
09:53.500 --> 09:56.350
Again, we get a visualization regarding what's being allowed, meaning

217
09:56.350 --> 10:00.900
explicitly permitted as part of a firewall rule or what's being blocked.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

217
09:56.350 --> 10:00.900
explicitly permitted as part of a firewall rule or what's being blocked.

218
10:00.900 --> 10:03.910
Or currently, is this floor right here showing we have one that is currently

219
10:03.910 --> 10:04.900
still unprotected.

220
10:04.900 --> 10:08.560
So in this flow, it has one that's allowed and the one that's unprotected is

221
10:08.560 --> 10:10.700
our traffic going to the DHCP services.

222
10:10.700 --> 10:14.770
And then once again, we could leverage NSX to create recommendations for us and

223
10:14.770 --> 10:16.700
help us modify our firewall policies.

224
10:16.700 --> 10:19.780
So back in groups, if I wanted to just take a look at my clients and web

225
10:19.780 --> 10:23.100
servers groups, the ones I created and click on apply, once again, it can

226
10:23.100 --> 10:24.900
reflect that traffic and those flows.

227
10:24.900 --> 10:28.080
And if we go up and select computes, then we just choose the VMs that we're

228
10:28.080 --> 10:29.100
concerned about.

229
10:29.100 --> 10:32.700
We'll go ahead and use mint and mint and web and web.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

229
10:29.100 --> 10:32.700
We'll go ahead and use mint and mint and web and web.

230
10:32.700 --> 10:34.700
Again, let's just confirm the traffic flows there.

231
10:34.700 --> 10:38.010
So it looks like this right here, if I right click on it and click on flow

232
10:38.010 --> 10:38.700
details.

233
10:38.700 --> 10:41.620
So based on the flow information here, we have some traffic that is being

234
10:41.620 --> 10:42.700
explicitly permitted.

235
10:42.700 --> 10:44.300
That's this part right here.

236
10:44.300 --> 10:48.060
And then we have other traffic flows here in the red representing that traffic

237
10:48.060 --> 10:51.700
is not being permitted or denied explicitly by a firewall rule.

238
10:51.700 --> 10:54.960
So if we wanted to go in and either have NSX intelligence, make additional

239
10:54.960 --> 10:59.500
recommendations or go in manually and modify our firewall policies, we could.

240
10:59.500 --> 11:00.700
So we'll close that.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

240
10:59.500 --> 11:00.700
So we'll close that.

241
11:00.700 --> 11:04.420
And again, all these green lines that show up here now are due to the policy

242
11:04.420 --> 11:08.700
changes that we implemented based on the recommendations from NSX intelligence.

243
11:08.700 --> 11:12.430
And for all of the red dotted lines here, that represents at least one

244
11:12.430 --> 11:13.700
unprotected flow.

245
11:13.700 --> 11:17.870
So for example, this right here between our mint computer, which is the mint on

246
11:17.870 --> 11:22.700
1055 and going up here to this web server on 1066.

247
11:22.700 --> 11:24.700
We have two flows that are allowed and one that's unprotected.

248
11:24.700 --> 11:28.700
And if we right click, it can show us the details on what's not being protected

249
11:28.700 --> 11:28.700
.

250
11:28.700 --> 11:31.700
And if click on the services here, it can show us what's being unprotected.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

250
11:28.700 --> 11:31.700
And if click on the services here, it can show us what's being unprotected.

251
11:31.700 --> 11:35.990
So it's the HGP services, which are not being blocked, but they simply are not

252
11:35.990 --> 11:39.700
being permitted or denied explicitly as part of a firewall rule.

253
11:39.700 --> 11:40.700
So we go ahead and close that.

254
11:40.700 --> 11:44.700
So up to this point, we've used NSX intelligence for three basic things.

255
11:44.700 --> 11:48.660
Number one, to go ahead and get a visualization regarding our traffic flows in

256
11:48.660 --> 11:49.700
our environment.

257
11:49.700 --> 11:53.170
And then secondly, we had to make recommendations for us regarding firewall

258
11:53.170 --> 11:53.700
rules.

259
11:53.700 --> 11:57.520
And then third, we actually published and pushed out those rules as part of a

260
11:57.520 --> 11:58.700
distributed firewall.

261
11:58.700 --> 12:02.940
And there is one additional really cool feature that NSX intelligence brings to
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

261
11:58.700 --> 12:02.940
And there is one additional really cool feature that NSX intelligence brings to

262
12:02.940 --> 12:03.700
the table.

263
12:03.700 --> 12:08.700
And that is the ability to detect suspicious traffic on our networks.

264
12:08.700 --> 12:11.700
And you and I get to take a look at that feature next.

265
12:11.700 --> 12:13.700
So I'll see you in the next video for exactly that.

266
12:13.700 --> 12:14.560
exactly that.
