Table 13. Network ports related to PowerStore X model appliances (continued) Port Service Protocol Access Direction Description 902 Network File Copy TCP ● Bi-directional ● NFC provides a file-type-aware FTP (NFC), VMware for NFC service for vSphere components. ESXi vCenter, vSphere Web Client ● Outbound for VMware vCenter uses NFC for operations such as copying and moving data between datastores by default. ● Inbound for ● VMware vCenter agent vSphere Web ● For vSphere Web client, used for client client connections. 1468 Remote Logging TCP Outbound Allows the appliance to send log messages to remote syslog servers. If closed, log messages cannot be sent to remote syslog servers. 5900, 5901, 5902, RFB protocol TCP 5903, 5904 Inbound Remote access to graphical user interfaces such as VNC. 5988 Common TCP Information Model (CIM) Server Inbound Server for CIM. 5989 CIM Secure Server TCP Inbound Server for CIM. 6999 NSX Virtual Distributed Logical Router, rabbitmqproxy UDP ● Bi-directional for NSX Virtual Distributed Router service ● Outbound for rabbitmqproxy ● For NSX Virtual Distributed Router service, the firewall port associated with this service is opened when NSX VIBs are installed and the VDR module is created. If no VDR instances are associated with the host, the port does not have to be open. ● For rabbitmqproxy, a proxy running on the ESXi host. This proxy allows applications that are running inside virtual machines to communicate with the AMQP brokers that are running in the vCenter network domain. The virtual machine does not have to be on the network, that is, no NIC is required. Ensure that outgoing connection IP addresses include at least the brokers in use or future. You can add brokers later to scale up. 8000 vMotion TCP Bi-directional Required for virtual machine migration with vMotion. ESXi hosts listen on port 8000 for TCP connections from remote ESXi hosts for vMotion traffic. 8100, 8200, 8300 Fault Tolerance TCP/UDP Bi-directional Used for traffic between hosts for vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT). 8301, 8302 DVSSync UDP Bi-directional DVSSync ports are used for synchronizing states of distributed virtual ports between hosts that have VMware FT record/replay enabled. Only hosts that run primary or backup virtual machines must have these ports open. On hosts that are not using VMware FT, these ports do not have to be open. 9080 I/O filter TCP Outbound Used by the I/O Filters storage feature. Port usage 31
