Hi all,
This question might have already been answered but we are currently looking at setting up two ESX server in our DMZ. We would like to use our internal Virtual Center server to manage these two hosts.. What ports do we need to open up to manage these hosts?
Here is a complete list of port traffics I've found on this forum. Very useful and great details.

General ESX Communication traffic:
VIC to ESX uses port 80,443, and 902.
Remote Console uses port 903
RCLI uses 80,443, and 902
VC to ESX uses port 902.

Okay great thanks for the info..
Hello,
As of VMware ESX v3.5 Update 2
General ESX Communication traffic:
VIC to ESX uses port 80,443
Remote Console uses port 443
RCLI uses 80,443
VC to ESX uses port 443
Everything is now done by Reverse Proxy so the actual ports should not be exposed to the network. The same holds true for webAccess.
