Customers who uses NSX day-in, day-out would like to have a point-in time restore functionality of DFW firewall rules. Many customer have a large footprints in VMC and make changes to DFW quite often. This feature was missing for long time and we could see its included in recent versions . Let's see how DFW configuration roll back works  NSX DFW configuration has versioning, and it is stored in the NSX Manager.  Every time when someone update DFW configuration, NSX creates one more version but keep storing the previous ones. You can rollback for previous config but reapplying it once again.  You can find the options under Networking & Security tab , > Security > Distributed Firewall . In the right side we see an Actions drop down. Choose View to get to the below screen.  Let’s go through the use case:  1. Original state- default config with no custom rules:  a.

How RPC Works

RPC implements a series of tasks in order to establish communication between a client and a server. First, the client initiates a specific objective by contacting a local process known as a “client stub” with parameters for accessing a file or service. The client stub converts the parameters it receives from the client into appropriate parameters on the server. The client stub then sends these new parameters to the operating system’s kernel, which then sends the message to the server stub (same as client stub, but is located on the server machine). The server stub decodes the message and sends it to the appropriate application or service. Once the application has been contacted, replies may be sent in the reverse direction through each of these processes.
