    Please review the following:

    The VEN does not require modprobe itself, but it does require the kernel modules needed for netfilter/nftables and packet logging.

    Everything included in all supported minimal OS distributions and all additional packages mentioned in the aforementioned link. Please also refer to the VEN Admin Guide below for further reference. Additionally, please note that during the VEN installation process, a dependency check is performed and verbose output is provided, which will highlight any additional requirements needed. If you have any additional questions, please work closely with your Partner account team and/or create a support case for any support-related issues.
