In a cross-vCenter NSX environment, rules created in the Universal Firewall section are replicated to the secondary NSX Managers. To create a Universal Firewall rule, follow these steps:

A universal firewall section is represented by the icon. Click on the + sign in the section to add a universal rule.

Follow the preceding procedure to add a rule and click Publish changes when done.

To delete a firewall rule, simply select the rule by clicking on it and then click on the icon to delete the rule. Once done, you have to publish the changes for the deletion to take effect. You can exclude certain virtual machines from being protected by the Distributed firewall. The NSX Manager, NSX controllers, and Edge appliances are automatically excluded. VMware recommends that the service exclusion list should contain the vCenter server, a SQL server for vCenter, and any virtual machines that are running in promiscuous mode. To add virtual machines to the exclusion list, follow these steps:

Go to Networking & Security | NSX Managers | Manage | Exclusion List.

Click the + icon and select the virtual machine to add to the exclusion list as seen in the following screenshot:
