Apply security policies in layer 2 firewall (Ethernet)

[omegahost]

Hi guys,

Is there any possibility to define a security policy that can be applied in layer 2 firewall (Ethernet) rather than layer 3 firewall (General)?

Thanks

Security Policies will only implement L3 firewall rules, you will need to define L2 rules directly via the Firewall -> Ethernet menu.

Note: While you could create a firewall rule with a L2 service in your security policy it is pushed to the L3 section and ignored.  I have verified this using NSX-v 6.4.1.
