Does VIO NSX installation support neutron firewall as a service API

Neutron security group will be mapped into nsx Distributed firewall. what is the concept mapped to NSX edge firewall?

Hi!


NSX Edges firewall is not called into action for protecting instances or configured through OpenStack Security Groups (VIO uses NSX DFW and NSX Security Groups for that): it is configured behind the scenes to allow DHCP traffic for instances and connectivity between tenant virtual networks.
