Explanation:
The Network Controller Northbound API allows you to configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and deploy new devices on the network by using Windows PowerShell, the Representational State Transfer (REST) API, or a management application with a graphical user interface, such as System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
Firewall Management
This Network Controller feature allows you to configure and manage allow/deny firewall Access Control rules for your workload VMs for both East/West and North/South network traffic in your datacenter. The firewall rules are plumbed in the vSwitch port of workload VMs, and so they are distributed across your workload in the datacenter. Using the Northbound API, you can define the firewall rules for both incoming and outgoing traffic from the workload VM. You can also configure each firewall rule to log the traffic that was allowed or denied by the rule.
