Support for ESXi 6.0 completely ended on 12th of March 2022 (see https://lifecycle.vmware.com). So should security be a priority or concern, you would be better of with upgrading to a newer, supported ESXi release as the TLS version won't help much here.

If you want to check which TLS versions are offered from several components, you could try following:

For ESXi 6.0 U3 ,TLS protocol versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 are enabled by default and disablement of TLSv1.2 is not supported. 

NOTE: The End of General Support for vSphere 6.0 is March 12, 2020 and vSphere 6.5/6.7 will be Oct 15 ,2022. So you should be planning for vSphere 7.0 ASAP.

Thank you for your support Ajay1988.

We are working to upgrade our vSphere but it will take a little bit time :slightly_smiling_face:
