Cause

This issue occurs because in NSX for vSphere 6.3.4 and 6.3.5, certain configuration with include and exclude list of IP Sets are unable to process the firewall rules.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in:

VMware NSX for vSphere 6.3.6, available at VMware Downloads.

VMware NSX for vSphere 6.4.0, available at VMware Downloads.

Workaround

To work around this issue if you do not want to upgrade, divide the subnet so that /0 does not need to be used.

Note: This issue will be seen whenever /0 subnet is used.
