The drawing is great!!! Thank you!

One question about it though, is it for VI3 or vSphere? When I went to install the vSphere upgrade to update manager port 80 was listed to communicate to vCenter. The drawing shows 443 and this worked for VI3.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm delighted you find it useful.

The diagram is not specific to VI3 or vSphere. It's for ESX/ESXi.

I did find in the VMware vCenter Update Manager Administration Guide http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsp_vum_40_admin_guide.pdf that "Update Manager connects to vCenter Server on port 80". See page 40.
