# DRAFT
The goal of this document is to offer a "step by step" NSX Evaluation Guide to test (some) NSX Services:
- Security Services
- Micro-Segmentation (DFW)
- Logical Networking Services
- Logical Switching
- Logical Routing (with distributed routing)
- Operation tools
- Network Topology
- Traceflow
NSX offers many more services, such as Load Balancing, VPN, IDS, NSX Intelligence, Federation, etc.
Those are currenlty out of scope of that document.
Also to limit the ESXi/Storage requirements, this evaluation does not cover high-availability and only 1 element of each NSX component will be installed.
This document table of content is:
- Requirements
- Installation of NSX
- NSX Evaluation
- Security only (no Logical Network)
- Logical Network + Security
- Operation Tools
