Hi Val,

I'm not 100% sure but it seems that the PDF contains one error on Page 25 within the screenshot for the "Edge services insertion for East - West traffic between Virtual Machines".

While the section is discussing Edge Services Insertion it seems that the CheckPoint policy screenshot underneath is outlined with Service Chaining in the NSX-T mode. I'm certainly not an expert on the NSX-T topic but this one seems a bit odd to me as per what I'm reading through the documentation.

Could you please confirm if this is an error in the PDF ?

I will check with the authors and get back to you.

Thanks.

I also found a somewhat newer version of this PDF (dated from 2020) on the following link where the same slide exist but on page 26 instead of 25.

Here is the link just in case:
