Hi I want to install vcenter server 6 for my DMZ Infrastucture. This vCenter is to manage my DMZ ESXi hosts, for ease of management i will installing it my internal VMware Infrastucture.

What are the ports needed to be open in firewall. Experts guide me.

Currently My Vcenter server is in internal network(its a VM) and  my esxi hosts are in DMZ network.

I will managing these esxi hosts from internal. My security team is confusing me

Do correct me , source are  dmz esxi hosts and destination is my vcenter server or is it vice versa.

Yes you are correct

Source to Destination: From DMZ esxi hosts to Vcenter Server
