Difference between Macro and Micro Segmentation

  • 1.  Difference between Macro and Micro Segmentation

    Posted Jun 03, 2024 11:40 PM

    Hello Team,

    Could someone please confirm? Is my understanding correct?

    Macro segmentation occurs when firewall rules are implemented to a physical device between Production App VLAN1 and Production Database VLAN2.

    If we apply distributed firewall rules to NSX between PROD APP VLAN VM1 and PROD APP VLAN VM2, this is referred to as micro segmentation.
