hi guys,
my first post. been reading a lot and really like this resource.
my question is how can i connect to my ESXi server with vSphere when i'm outside of my local network? im assuming i need a static ip or a static dns service and a certain port forwarded??
any help would be greatly appreciated. and hopefully i'll be able to provide help soon
thanks,
stackz
Yes you will have to forward a port - the ports you need to open up are listed here on page 184 of http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_3_server_config.pdf

For port forward see post.
IMHO I suggest, for security reason, to do not open firewall port (or open ONLY for some external static IPs), but use instead a VPN solution.
Andrer
For management it's just 443, 902 and 903 (TCP)
It works perfect, but as the others say, use a VPN.
Dont want a hacker taking over your ESX

Would it be OK to host the VPN software on the same box i'll be remoting into?
Also anyone have a good easy software solution recommendation for this?
Many Thanks!!
OR would it be OK to have a VM that just has remote desktop, and that VM has Vsphere hosted on it.
Would that be secure? Using Microsoft Remote Desktop client or similar?
