Hello Luc,

there is a requirement to stop unwanted services in esxi secuirtyprofile.

following is what i got from of the esxihost using $esx_cli.network.firewall.ruleset.list()

can yu suggest what is the default settings as i have not  seen enabling any other service except ssh server.

The defaults (for 6.5) are described in Customizing ESXi Services from the Security Profile

Thanks,

i was checking the similar document for 5.5 esxi.i dont see any similar under 5.5.

[LucD]

No, neither can I.

I'm not sure a similar document exists pre-ESXi v6

[jvm2016]

Thanks Luc.

You could install a new ESXi 5.5, and derive the defaults from that one.

[jvm2016]

yes that is one of the options to check .
