VMware Tools contains a utility that allows the NSX Manager to collect the IP address(es) of each guest running in the cluster. NSX Manager uses the IP address as a match criterion to steer traffic to the VM-Series firewall. If you do not have VMware tools installed on each guest, the IP address(es) of the guest is unavailable to the NSX Manager and traffic cannot be steered to the VM-Series firewall.
