“vShield Components at a Glance” on page 7 “Deployment Scenarios” on page 10 vShield Components at a Glance VMware vShield is a suite of security virtual appliances built for VMware vCenter™ Server integration. vShield is a critical security component for protecting virtualized datacenters from attacks and misuse helping you achieve your compliance‐mandated goals. vShield includes virtual appliances and services essential for protecting virtual machines. vShield can be configured through a web‐based user interface, a vSphere Client plug‐in, a command line interface (CLI), and REST API. vCenter Server includes vShield Manager and vShield Zones. The following vShield packages each require a license: vShield Edge with Port Group Isolation vShield App vShield Endpoint One vShield Manager manages multiple vShield Zones, vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint instances. vShield Manager The vShield Manager is the centralized network management component of vShield, and is installed as a virtual appliance on any ESX™ host in your vCenter Server environment. A vShield Manager can run on a different ESX host from your vShield agents. Using the vShield Manager user interface or vSphere Client plug‐in, administrators install, configure, and maintain vShield components. The vShield Manager user interface leverages the VMware Infrastructure SDK to display a copy of the vSphere Client inventory panel, and includes the Hosts & Clusters and Networks views. vShield Zones vShield Zones provides firewall protection for traffic between virtual machines. For each Zones Firewall rule, you can specify the source IP, destination IP, source port, destination port, and service. VMware, Inc.
Standard vShield Edge Services (Including Cloud Director) Firewall: Supported rules include IP 5‐tuple configuration with IP and port ranges for stateful inspection for TCP, UDP, and ICMP. Network Address Translation: Separate controls for Source and Destination IP addresses, as well as TCP and UDP port translation. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Configuration of IP pools, gateways, DNS servers, and search domains. Advanced vShield Edge Services Site‐to‐Site Virtual Private Network (VPN): Uses standardized IPsec protocol settings to interoperate with all major firewall vendors. Load Balancing: Simple and dynamically configurable virtual IP addresses and server groups. vShield Edge supports syslog export for all services to remote servers. Figure 1-1. vShield Edge Installed to Secure a vDS Port Group VMware, Inc.
Chapter 1 Introduction to vShield vShield App vShield App is an interior, vNIC‐level firewall that allows you to create access control policies regardless of network topology. A vShield App monitors all traffic in and out of an ESX host, including between virtual machines in the same port group. vShield App includes traffic analysis and container‐based policy creation. vShield App installs as a hypervisor module and firewall service virtual appliance. vShield App integrates with ESX hosts through VMsafe APIs and works with VMware vSphere platform features such as DRS, vMotion, DPM, and maintenance mode. vShield App provides firewalling between virtual machines by placing a firewall filter on every virtual network adapter. The firewall filter operates transparently and does not require network changes or modification of IP addresses to create security zones. You can write access rules by using vCenter containers, like datacenters, cluster, resource pools and vApps, or network objects, like Port Groups and VLANs, to reduce the number of firewall rules and make the rules easier to track. You should install vShield App instances on all ESX hosts within a cluster so that VMware vMotion™ operations work and virtual machines remain protected as they migrate between ESX hosts. By default, a vShield App virtual appliance cannot be moved by using vMotion. The Flow Monitoring feature displays allowed and blocked network flows at the application protocol level. You can use this information to audit network traffic and troubleshoot operational. vShield Endpoint vShield Endpoint delivers an introspection‐based antivirus solution. vShield Endpoint uses the hypervisor to scan guest virtual machines from the outside without a bulky agent. vShield Endpoint is efficient in avoiding resource bottlenecks while optimizing memory use. vShield Endpoint installs as a hypervisor module and security virtual appliance from a third‐party antivirus vendor (VMware partners) on an ESX host. Figure 1-2. vShield Endpoint Installed on an ESX Host VMware, Inc.
Quick Start Guide Deployment Scenarios Using vShield, you can build secure zones for a variety of virtual machine deployments. You can isolate virtual machines based on specific applications, network segmentation, or custom compliance factors. Once you determine your zoning policies, you can deploy vShield to enforce access rules to each of these zones. Protecting the DMZ The DMZ is a mixed trust zone. Clients enter from the Internet for Web and email services, while services within the DMZ might require access to services inside the internal network. You can place DMZ virtual machines in a port group and secure that port group with a vShield Edge. vShield Edge provides access services such as firewall, NAT, and VPN, as well as load balancing to secure DMZ services. A common example of a DMZ service requiring an internal service is Microsoft Exchange. Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) commonly resides in the DMZ cluster, while the Microsoft Exchange back end is in the internal cluster. On the internal cluster, you can create firewall rules to allow only Exchanged‐related requests from the DMZ, identifying specific source‐to‐destination parameters. From the DMZ cluster, you can create rules to allow outside access to the DMZ only to specific destinations using HTTP, FTP, or SMTP. Isolating and Protecting Internal Networks You can use a vShield Edge with the Port Group Isolation feature to isolate an internal network from the external network. A vShield Edge provides perimeter firewall protection and edge services to secure virtual machines in a port group, enabling communication to the external network through DHCP, NAT, and VPN. Within the secured port group, you can install a vShield App instance on each ESX host that the vDS spans to secure communication between virtual machines in the internal network. If you utilize VLAN tags to segment traffic, you can use App Firewall to create smarter access policies. Using App Firewall instead of a physical firewall allows you to collapse or mix trust zones in shared ESX clusters. By doing so, you gain optimal utilization and consolidation from features such as DRS and HA, instead of having separate, fragmented clusters. Management of the overall ESX deployment as a single pool is less complex than having separately managed pools. For example, you use VLANs to segment virtual machine zones based on logical, organizational, or network boundaries. Leveraging the Virtual Infrastructure SDK, the vShield Manager inventory panel displays a view of your VLAN networks under the Networks view. You can build access rules for each VLAN network to isolate virtual machines and drop untagged traffic to these machines. VMware, Inc.
Figure 1-3. vShield App Instances Installed on Each ESX Host in a Cluster Unprotected Cluster Protected Cluster Common Deployments of vShield Edge You can use a vShield Edge with the Port Group Isolation feature to isolate a stub network, using NAT to allow traffic in and out of the network. If you deploy internal stub networks, you can use vShield Edge to secure communication between networks by using LAN‐to‐LAN encryption via VPN tunnels. vShield Edge can be deployed as a self‐service application within VMware Cloud Director. Common Deployments of vShield App You can use vShield App to create security zones within a vDC. You can impose firewall policies on vCenter containers or Security Groups, which are custom containers you can create by using the vShield Manager user interface. Container‐based policies enable you to create mixed trust zones clusters without requiring an external physical firewall. In a deployment that does not use vDCs, use a vShield App with the Security Groups feature to create trust zones and enforce access policies. Service Provider Admins can use vShield App to impose broad firewall policies across all guest virtual machines in an internal network. For example, you can impose a firewall policy on the second vNIC of all guest virtual machines that allows the virtual machines to connect to a storage server, but blocks the virtual machines from addressing any other virtual machines.

Deployment Considerations Consider the following recommendations and restrictions before you deploy vShield components. Preparing Virtual Machines for vShield Protection You must determine how to protect your virtual machines with vShield. Consider the following questions: How Are My Virtual Machines Grouped? You might consider moving virtual machines to port groups on a vDS or a different ESX host to group virtual machines by function, department, or other organizational need to improve security and ease configuration of access rules. You can install vShield Edge at the perimeter of any port group to isolate virtual machines from the external network. You can install a vShield App on an ESX host and configure firewall policies per container resource to enforce rules based on the hierarchy of resources. Are My Virtual Machines Still Protected if I vMotion Them to Another ESX Host? Yes, if you install a vShield App on each ESX host in a cluster, you can migrate machines between hosts without weakening the security posture. vShield App instances cannot be migrated to other hosts, thus each instance maintains state for existing sessions. VMware, Inc.
Manager virtual appliance to another ESX host. Thus, more than one ESX host is recommended. Communication Between vShield Components The management interfaces of vShield components should be placed in a common network, such as the vSphere management network. The vShield Manager requires connectivity to the vCenter Server, as well as all vShield App and vShield Edge instances. vShield components can communicate over routed connections as well as different LANs. The vShield Manager must be in the same vCenter Server environment as the vShield components to be managed. You cannot use the vShield Manager across different vCenter Server environments. Hardening Your vShield Virtual Machines You can access the vShield Manager and other vShield components by using a web‐based user interface, command line interface, and REST API. vShield includes default login credentials for each of these access options. After installation of each vShield virtual machine, you should harden access by changing the default login credentials. vShield Manager User Interface You access the vShield Manager user interface by opening a web browser window and navigating to the IP address of the vShield Manager’s management port. The default user account, admin, has global access to the vShield Manager. After initial login, you should change the default password of the admin user account. See “Change the Password of the vShield Manager User Interface Default Account” on page 20. Command Line Interface You can access the vShield Manager, vShield App, and vShield Edge virtual appliances by using a command line interface via vSphere Client console session. Each virtual appliance uses the same default username (admin) and password (default) combination as the vShield Manager user interface. Entering Enabled mode also uses the password default. For more on hardening the CLI, see the vShield Administration Guide. VMware, Inc.
Quick Start Guide REST Requests All REST API requests require authentication with the vShield Manager. Using Base 64 encoding, you identify a username‐password combination in the following format: username:password. You must use a vShield Manager user interface account (username and password) with privileged access to perform requests. For more on authenticating REST API requests, see the vShield API Programming Guide VMware, Inc.
“Configure the Network Settings of the vShield Manager” on page 18 “Log In to the vShield Manager User Interface” on page 19 “Synchronize the vShield Manager with the vCenter Server” on page 19 “Register the vShield Manager Plug‐In with the vSphere Client” on page 20 “Change the Password of the vShield Manager User Interface Default Account” on page 20 “Install vShield Zones” on page 20 “Where to Go Next” on page 21 Obtain the vShield Manager OVA File The vShield Manager virtual machine is packaged as an Open Virtualization Appliance (OVA) file, which allows you to use the vSphere Client to import the vShield Manager into the datastore and virtual machine inventory. Install the vShield Manager Virtual Appliance You can install the vShield Manager virtual machine on an ESX host in a cluster configured with DRS. The target ESX host must be managed by the same vCenter instance as the ESX hosts on which you want to deploy vShield Zones or vShield App instances. A single vShield Manager serves a single vCenter Server environment. VMware, Inc.

Click Update User. Enter a new password. Confirm the password by typing it a second time in the Retype Password field. Click OK to save your changes. Install vShield Zones The following information is required for vShield Zones installation on an ESX host: One IP address for the management (MGMT) port of each vShield Zones virtual appliance. Each IP address should be reachable from the vShield Manager and sit on the Management network used for vCenter and ESX host management interfaces. Local or network storage to place the vShield Zones disk. vShield Zones virtual appliances include VMware Tools. Do not attempt to alter or upgrade the VMware Tools software on a vShield Zones virtual appliance. Log in to the vSphere Client. Select an ESX host from the inventory tree. Click the vShield tab. Accept the security certificate. Click Install for the vShield Zones service. VMware, Inc.
Field Action Datastore Select the datastore on which to store the vShield Zones virtual machine files. Management Port Group Select the port group to host the vShield Zone’s management interface. This port group must be able to reach the vShield Manager’s port group. IP Address Type the IP address to assign to the vShield Zone’s management interface. Netmask Type the IP subnet mask associated with the assigned IP address. Default Gateway Type the IP address of the default network gateway. Click Install at the top of the form. You can follow the vShield Zones installation steps from the Recent Tasks pane of the vSphere Client screen. After installation of all components is complete, go to the vShield Zones > Zones Firewall tab at the datacenter, cluster, or port group container level to configure firewall rules. Each vShield Zones instance inherits global firewall rules set in the vShield Manager. The default firewall rule set allows all traffic to pass. You must configure blocking rules to explicitly deny traffic. To configure Zones Firewall rules, see the vShield Administration Guide. You can upgrade vShield Zones to vShield App by obtaining a vShield App license. vShield App enhances vShield Zones protection by offering Flow Monitoring, custom container creation (Security Groups), and container‐based access policy creation and enforcement. You do not have to uninstall vShield Zones to install vShield App. All vShield Zones instances become vShield App instances, the Zones Firewall becomes App Firewall, and the additional vShield App features are enabled. Where to Go Next After vShield Manager installation is complete, you can configure vShield Zones firewall settings and analyze traffic. For more, see the vShield Administration Guide. To enhance your network security posture, you can obtain licenses for vShield App, vShield Endpoint, and vShield Edge. For more, see Chapter 4, “Installing vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint,” on page 23. VMware, Inc.
Running vShield in Evaluation Mode Before purchasing and activating licenses for vShield Edge, vShield App, an vShield Endpoint, you can install and run evaluation modes of the software. When run in evaluation mode, intended for demonstration and evaluation purposes, your vShield Edge, vShield App, and vShield Endpoint are completely operational immediately after installation, do not require any licensing configuration, and provide full functionality for 60 days from the time you first activate them. When run in evaluation mode, vShield components can support a maximum allowed number of instances. After the 60‐day trial period expires, unless you obtain licenses for your software, you cannot use vShield. For example, you cannot power on vShield App or vShield Edge virtual appliances or protect your virtual machines. To continue using the vShield App and vShield Edge functionality without interruptions or to restore the features that become unavailable after the 60‐day trial, you need to obtain and install license files that activate the features appropriate for the vShield component you purchased. Preparing Your Virtual Infrastructure for vShield App, vShield Edge, and vShield Endpoint Prior to installation, the add‐on components require preparation of your ESX host and vNetwork environments. You install vShield App, vShield Endpoint, and the Port Group Isolation feature on ESX hosts. ® You install vShield Edge on a port group, vNetwork Distributed Switch (vDS) port group, or a Cisco Nexus 1000V. If you intend to use the Port Group Isolation feature, you should install Port Group Isolation on all ESX hosts in your vCenter environment before you install any vShield Edge virtual machines. If you do not install Port Group Isolation and attempt to enable the feature during vShield Edge installation, Port Group Isolation does not work. See “Prepare All ESX Hosts” on page 24. VMware, Inc.
ESX host management interfaces. Local or network storage to place the vShield App and Port Group Isolation disks. vShield virtual appliances include VMware Tools. Do not attempt to alter or upgrade the VMware Tools software on a vShield virtual appliance. To prepare an ESX host for vShield add-on functionality Log in to the vSphere Client. Select an ESX host from the inventory tree. Click the vShield tab. Accept the security certificate. Click Install for the vShield App service. You will be able to install all three services on the next screen. Under vShield App, enter the following information. Field Action Datastore Select the datastore on which to store the vShield App virtual machine files. Management Port Group Select the port group to host the vShield App’s management interface. This port group must be able to reach the vShield Manager’s port group. IP Address Type the IP address to assign to the vShield App’s management interface. Netmask Type the IP subnet mask associated with the assigned IP address. Default Gateway Type the IP address of the default network gateway. Select the vShield Edge Port Group Isolation Host Preparation check box. Select the Datastore on which to store the Port Group Isolation service files. Select the vShield Endpoint check box. VMware, Inc.
Port Group Isolation is an optional feature that is not required for vShield Edge operation. Port Group Isolation is available for vDS‐based vShield Edge installations only. To use Port Group Isolation, you must enable this feature on each vDS on which you will install a vShield Edge. Enable Port Group Isolation on each vDS. Install a vShield Edge on each vDS port group you plan to secure. Move the virtual machines to secured vDS port groups. After Port Group Isolation is installed on each ESX host, you must enable Port Group Isolation on each vDS where you will install a vShield Edge. This allows the Port Group Isolation service to be used on any port group in a vDS. To enable Port Group Isolation on a vDS Log in to the vSphere Client. Go to View > Inventory > Networking. Right‐click a vDS. Select vShield > Enable Isolation. A browser window opens to confirm that Port Group Isolation has been enabled. After Port Group Isolation installation is complete, install a vShield Edge instance on each vDS port group. Install a vShield Edge Each vShield Edge virtual appliance has External and Internal network interfaces. The Internal interface connects to the secured port group and acts as the gateway for all protected virtual machines in the port group. The subnet assigned to the Internal interface can be RFC 1918 private space. The External interface of the vShield Edge connects to an uplink port group that has access to a shared corporate network or a service that provides access layer networking. Each vShield Edge requires at least one IP address to number the External interface. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured for Load Balancer, Site‐to‐Site VPN, and NAT services. The Internal interface can have a private IP address block that overlaps with other vShield Edge secured port groups. VMware, Inc.

Select the new Internal port group. Click the Edge tab. Under Network Interfaces, enter the following information. Field Action External Port Group Select the external port group in the vDS. This port group homes a physical NIC and connects to the external network. IP Address Type the IP address of the external port group. Subnet Mask Type the IP subnet mask associated with the specified external IP address. Default Gateway Type the IP address of the default network gateway. Internal Port Group This is the selected internal port group. IP Address Type the IP address of the internal port group. Subnet Mask Type the IP subnet mask associated with the specified internal IP address. (Optional) Select the Isolate check box to enable Port Group Isolation on the vShield Edge. This prevents virtual machines on the Internal port group from communicating with systems outside of that port group. Under Edge deployment resource selection, enter the following information Field Action Resource Pool Select the resource pool where the vShield Edge should be deployed. Host Select the ESX host on which the datastore resides. Datastore Select the datastore on which to store the vShield Edge virtual machine files. 10 Click Install. After installation is complete, configure services and firewall rules to protect the virtual machines in the secured port group. To configure a vShield Edge, see the vShield Administration Guide. VMware, Inc.
Install the Thin Agent on the Guest Virtual Machine The thin agent must be installed on each guest virtual machine to be protected. Virtual machines with the thin agent installed are automatically protected whenever they are started up on an ESX host that has the security solution installed. That is, protected virtual machines retain the security protection through shut downs and restarts, and even after a vMotion move to another ESX host with the security solution installed. Prerequisites Make sure that the guest virtual machine has a supported version of Windows installed. Supported versions of the Windows operating system for vShield Endpoint 1.0 are: Windows Vista (32 bit) Windows 7 (32 bit) Windows XP (32 bit) Windows 2003 (32/64 bit) Windows 2008 (32/64 bit) Make sure that the thin agent and the virtual machine are both either 32 or 64 bit versions. You cannot mix the two versions. Make sure the guest virtual machine has a SCSI controller installed. When you create a new virtual machine, the default configuration does not include a SCSI MPORTANT controller. You must specifically add a SCSI controller to the virtual machine. To find instructions on how to add SCSI controllers to a virtual machine, see the vSphere Client help: vSphere Client Help > Managing Virtual Machine Hardware and Devices > Adding Virtual Devices > Add SCSI Controllers BusLogic SCSI controllers are not supported. AUTION VMware, Inc.
Quick Start Guide To install the Thin Agent The installation package is located at the same VMware customer site where you downloaded vShield Manager. The package name has the following form: 32‐bit VMware-vShield-Endpoint-Driver-1.0.0-<build number>.x86-32.msi 64‐bit VMware-vShield-Endpoint-Driver-1.0.0-< build number >.x86-64.msi. This is a standard Microsoft installer package. Download and execute the installation package on the target host. The thin agent must be installed on every guest virtual machine to be protected. Reboot the guest virtual machine to complete the installation. If you run a silent install using msiexec, the reboot will happen automatically. Where to Go Next After installation is complete, see the vShield Administration Guide for configuration, monitoring, and maintenance. VMware, Inc.
