The insertion point for East-West network introspection in NSX is at the Guest VM vNIC (virtual Network Interface Card). By inspecting traffic at the vNIC level, NSX can monitor and apply security policies to traffic between virtual machines (East-West traffic) within the same network segment or data center, providing detailed security controls for VM-to-VM communication.

An overlay segment is a layer 2 broadcast domain that is implemented as a logical construct in the NSX-T Data Center software. Overlay segments do not require any configuration on the physical switches, and they allow for optimal east/west communication between workloads on different ESXi hosts. Overlay segments use the Geneve protocol to encapsulate and decapsulate traffic between the hosts. Overlay segments are created and managed by the NSX Manager.

The netcpa process is responsible for Local Control Plane (LCP) connectivity with the Central Control Plane (CCP) in NSX. Using the command esxcli network ip connection list | grep netcpa, administrators can verify the connectivity status between the LCP on the ESXi host and the CCP, ensuring proper communication for NSX operations.

The set auth-policy command in the NSX CLI is used to configure the authentication policy for local users. This command allows administrators to adjust settings related to password policies, lockout policies, and other authentication-related parameters for local user accounts on NSX Manager.
