Explanation
vDefend ?Distributed Firewall is a security capability delivered by NSX within VMware Cloud Foundation. Although VCF components such as SDDC Manager, VCF Operations, and VCF Automation rely on licensing frameworks, the enforcement and activation of NSX features-- including Distributed Firewall--occur entirely within NSX Manager. To enable vDefend (Distributed Firewall), NSX Manager must detect a valid NSX license that includes security features. Without applying the correct license directly to NSX Manager: The Distributed Firewall feature remains locked vDefend cannot be enabled in workload domains Security rules and micro-segmentation capability remain unavailable VCF does not apply NSX security licensing at the SDDC Manager, VCF Automation, or VCF Operations layers. Instead, NSX Manager handles all feature entitlement checks internally.
