Advanced Networking Services provides functionality to create robust firewalls to protect your virtual machines deployed in vCloud Air from outside network traffic as well as to create internal firewalls to isolate virtual machines from each other.

For information about the features of the Advanced Networking Services firewalls, see the following topics in the vCloud Air Advanced Networking Services Guide:

Edge Gateway Firewall

Firewall for Trust Groups

Note

In the vCloud Air Advanced Networking Services Guide the distributed firewall is described as a Trust Group because of the level of security it provides between virtual machines in your vCloud Air environment.
