Port | Protocol | Description |
80 | TCP | vCenter Server requires port 80 for direct HTTP connections. Port 80 redirects requests to HTTPS port 443. This redirection is useful if you accidentally use http://server instead of https://server. Note: Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) also use port 80. For more information, see theConflict Between vCenter Server and IIS for Port 80 section in the vSphere Installation and Setup guide. |
88 | TCP | vCenter Single Sign-On – VMware Kdc Service |
389 | TCP/UDP | This port must be open in the local and all remote instances of vCenter Server. This is the LDAP port number for the Directory Services for the vCenter Server group. The vCenter Server system needs to bind to port 389, even if you are not joining this vCenter Server instance to a Linked Mode group. If another service is running on this port, it might be preferable to remove it or change its port to a different port. You can run the LDAP service on any port from 1025 through 65535. If this instance is serving as the Microsoft Windows Active Directory, change the port number from 389 to an available port from 1025 through 65535. |
| 443 | TCP | The default port that the vCenter Server system uses to listen for connections from the vSphere Client. To enable the vCenter Server system to receive data from the vSphere Client, open port 443 in the firewall. The vCenter Server system also uses port 443 to monitor data transfer from SDK clients. This port is also used for the these services:
|
636 | TCP | This is the SSL port of the local instance for vCenter Server Linked Mode. If another service is running on this port, it might be preferable to remove it or change its port. You can run the SSL service on any port from 1025 through 65535. |
902 | TCP/UDP | This is the default port used by the vCenter Server system to send data to managed hosts. Managed hosts also send a regular heartbeat over UDP port 902 to the vCenter Server system. This port must not be blocked by firewalls between the server and the hosts or between hosts. |
| 903 | TCP | Access a virtual machine console from the vSphere Client when the vSphere Client is connected directly to the ESXi host (no vCenter Server). |
