Notes:

1 Please refer to the VMware Product Interoperability Matrices for specific versions supported with NSX-T Data Center.
2 Please refer to the NSX-T Data Center release notes for specific versions.
3 Please refer to the NSX Data Center partner web site for specific versions.
4 VMware vRealize Log Insight for NSX provides intelligent log analytics for NSX Data Center. Log Insight provides monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities and customizable dashboards for network virtualization, flow analysis, and alerts. VMware vRealize Log Insight version 3.3.2 and later accepts NSX Data Center Standard/ProfessionalAdvanced/Enterprise Plus/ROBO edition license keys issued for NSX-T 1.0.0 and later. This means you will have an enterprise level Log Insight license for every license of NSX Data Center.
5 VMware Identity Manager - A license to use VMware NSX Data Center includes an entitlement to use the VMware Identity Manager feature, but only for the following functionalities:

Directory integration functionality of VMware Identity Manager to authenticate users in a user directory such as Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP.

Conditional access policy.

Single-sign-on integration functionality with third party Identity providers to allow third party identity providers’ users to single-sign-on into NSX Data Center.

Two-factor authentication solution through integration with third party systems. VMware Verify, VMware’s multi-factor authentication solution, received as part of VMware Identity Manager, may not be used as part of NSX Data Center.

Single-sign-on functionality to access VMware products that support single-sign-on capabilities.

6 Ansible, and Terraform is available for all editions of NSX, however, you must have the appropriate NSX edition for the feature which is automated by these tools. For example automation of load balancing from Terraform or OpenStack requires NSX Data Center  Advanced, Enterprise Plus or ROBO.
7 NSX Distributed Thread Prevention requires an additional subscription based purchase.
8 Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported for all Load Balancing features except for IPv6-VIP-toIPv4-member and IPv4-VIP-to-IPv6-member translations.
