VMware 5V0-41.21 - VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.1 Security

Endpoint Protection (EPP) integrations with NSX-T Data Center typically involve installing a security agent on the virtual machines (VMs) in the environment. This agent communicates with the NSX-T Data Center platform to provide security features such as antivirus and intrusion detection.

In order for the agent to work properly, it is important that the correct drivers are installed on the VMs. Typically, this is done by installing VMware tools on the VMs, which provides the necessary drivers. However, in a brownfield environment, the VMs may already have VMware tools installed and the drivers may not be the correct version for the agent to work properly. In this case, it is recommended to perform a custom install of VMware tools and select the drivers specifically for the agent.
