Explanation

In Pensando PSM, VRF Configuration (B) defines the network segmentation context - security policies must be scoped to a VRF so the system knows which network segment the rules apply to. Firewall Rules (D) are the actual security policies themselves, defining what traffic is permitted or denied; without them, no enforcement occurs. Together, VRFs provide the "where" and firewall rules provide the "what" for policy application.

DNS Settings (A) handle name resolution only and have no role in defining or enforcing security policy within PSM. RBAC (C) controls administrative access to the PSM management plane (who can log in and make changes), not the data-plane security policies applied to network traffic - it's about managing PSM, not securing the network.

Memory tip: Think VRF = Venue, Firewall = Filter - you need to define the venue (which network segment) before you can apply the filter (what traffic is allowed). DNS and RBAC are support functions, not policy enforcement pillars.
