Use this skill whenever the user needs to manage VMware NSX security — distributed firewall (DFW) policies, security groups, microsegmentation, and IDS/IPS. Directly handles: create/manage DFW policies and rules, security groups, VM tags, network traceflow diagnostics, IDPS profiles and status. Always use this skill for "create firewall rule", "set up microsegmentation", "add VM to security group", "run traceflow", "check IDS status", or any NSX security/DFW task. Do NOT use for NSX networking operations like segments, gateways, NAT, or routing (use vmware-nsx), or VM lifecycle (use vmware-aiops). For load balancing/AVI/AKO use vmware-avi.
Vmware Nsx Security includes a dedicated installation section; worked examples; pricing or quota commentary. At roughly 2,343 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
