A. B. C. D.D.
When a security administrator turns on logging for a firewall rule, the logs are stored in a file on the ESXi and KVM transport nodes. The file location depends on the transport node type.
For ESXi transport nodes, the logs are stored in the /var/log/vmware/nsx/firewall.log file. This file contains the logs for all firewall rules that have logging enabled.
For KVM transport nodes, the logs are stored in the /var/log/fw.log file. This file contains the logs for all firewall rules that have logging enabled.
The /var/log/messages.log file contains system log messages and may include firewall log messages as well, but it is not specific to firewall logs.
The /var/log/dfwpktlogs.log file contains packet capture logs and is used for troubleshooting network issues.
In summary, the correct answer is A. /var/log/vmware/nsx/firewall.log for ESXi transport nodes, and B. /var/log/fw.log for KVM transport nodes.
