VMware NSX compatibality with ESXi

My vCenter version is 7.0.2 Build 18356314
My ESXi version : 6.7.0, 16773714
I want to deploy NSX in my vCenter
1- Is that possible to deploy NSX 4.1.2 ?
2- Would you please define which NSX or NSX-t versions I can deploy in my environment?

First of all ESXi 6.7 is End of Life and you have to upgrade it to supported version (7.x or later)

Regarding the NSX product version compatibility with ESXi and vCenter server, you can check in VMware interoperability matrix website and choose the version accordingly

I have checked it for you , minimum supported version of ESXi is 7.x

NSX with ESXi

NSX with vCenter server

Hope it helps.

Does it mean we cannot run nsx with esxi 6.7 ?

You can run it - up to NSX v3.2.3 (suppose you are on U1/2/3 of v6.7 at least).

No version 4 support for ESXi 6.x.

As stated before - be aware of EoL/EoS for v6.x.

I have downloaded nsx-unified-appliance-3.2.3.0.0.21703641.ova

But now due deploy showing follow error . 

Failed to deploy OVF package. ThrowableProxy.cause A general system error occurred: Provider method implementation threw unexpected exception: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.OperationNotFound: OperationNotFound (com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.operation_not_found) => { messages = [LocalizableMessage (com.vmware.vapi.std.localizable_message) => { id = vapi.method.input.invalid.interface, defaultMessage = Cannot find service 'com.vmware.appliance.networking.proxy'., args = [com.vmware.appliance.networking.proxy], params = <null>, localized = <null> }], data = <null>, errorType = OPERATION_NOT_FOUND }

I am not sure if it relates to ESXi / vCenter / NSX version or not 

Also My esxi and vCenter are in different subnet and my NSX and vcsa in same subnet

Are you trying to deploy it directly on cluster or directly on some esxi host? Try directly on ESXi host - I saw similar errors using OVA files and deploying it directly on cluster.
