A frequent NSX-T anti-pattern is rebuilding the exact VLAN design as segments: one segment per tier, per app, per environment, per whatever. It’s understandable – teams want familiarity. But NSX-T decouples network segmentation from security segmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many cases, you can reduce segments dramatically and rely on DFW for isolation. That simplifies routing, reduces operational overhead, and makes troubleshooting more deterministic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of: Segment-Web; Segment-App; Segment-DB<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do: Segment-AppOverlay
