According to the web search results, network segmentation is a feature of NSX that improves the security of today’s modern workloads by preventing lateral movement. Lateral movement is a technique used by attackers to move from one compromised system to another within a network, exploiting vulnerabilities or credentials . Network segmentation prevents lateral movement by dividing a network into smaller segments or zones, each with its own security policies and controls. This way, if one segment is compromised, the attacker cannot access other segments or resources . NSX enables network segmentation by using micro-segmentation, which applies granular firewall rules at the virtual machine level, regardless of the physical network topology .

The MAC Table on an ESXi host is used to determine the location of a particular workload for frame-forwarding decisions. This table maps MAC addresses to specific interfaces, enabling the ESXi host to forward frames to the correct destination based on the MAC address of the workload. This is crucial for efficient Layer 2 forwarding decisions within the host.
