## Solution

In VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.2 [Release Notes](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/3.2/rn/vmware-nsxt-data-center-32-release-notes/index.html#feature--api-deprecations-and-behavior-changes-deprecation-announcement-for-nsx-manager-apis-and-nsx-advanced-uis "VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.2 Release Notes"), it is stated regarding "Feature / API Deprecations and Behavior Changes:

Quote   

"**Deprecation announcement for NSX Manager APIs and NSX Advanced UIs**   
NSX-T has two methods of configuring logical networking and security: Manager mode and Policy mode. The Manager API contains URIs that begin with /api, and the Policy API contains URIs that begin with /policy/api.

Please be aware that VMware intends to remove support of the NSX-T Manager APIs and NSX Advanced UIs in an upcoming NSX-T major or minor release, which will be generally available no sooner than one year from the date of this message, 12/16/2021. NSX-T Manager APIs that are planned to be removed are marked with "deprecated" in the NSX Data Center API Guide, with guidance on replacement APIs."   

End quote  

In lower versions, CloudGuard Controller for NSX-T used Manager mode APIs. This message, generated from the NSX-T manager was displayed in the Security Management SmartConsole when importing objects from the Data Center:

In NSX-T 4.0.0.x and higher versions, Manager Mode APIs are deprecated, and new Policy Mode APIs are used instead. Customers no longer receive this message when using the latest Check Point releases. See the documentation for more details about the [Policy Mode APIs](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R82/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R82_CloudGuard_Controller_AdminGuide/Content/Topics-CGRDG/Supported-Data-Centers-VMware.htm?TocPath=Supported%20Data%20Centers%7CCloudGuard%20Controller%20for%20VMware%20Servers%7CCloudGuard%20Controller%20for%20VMware%20NSX-T%20Management%20Server%7C_____2#VMware_NSX-T_Policy_mode_APIs).
