How does the esxi host know the address of the Controller when it needs to send initial information

When a host gets a new VM (from VCenter Server) and it needs to send information to the Controller, now does it know the Controllers IP address?  I am new to NSX...  Thanks!

The IP address of all Controllers is sent from NSX Manager to the vsfwd process on each host, and is saved in the file /etc/vmware/netcpa/config-by-vsm.xml.
