Chapter 2 System Requirements Required Ports for the vCenter Server Appliance The VMware vCenter Server system must be able to send data to every managed host and receive data from every vSphere Web Client. For migration and provisioning activities between managed hosts, the source and destination hosts must be able to receive data from each other. For information about ports required for vCenter Server on Windows, see "Required Ports for vCenter Server," on page 23. VMware uses designated ports for communication. Additionally, the managed hosts monitor designated ports for data from the vCenter Server system. The vCenter Server Appliance is preconfigured to use the ports listed in Table 2-13. For custom firewalls, you must manually open the required ports. If you have a firewall between two managed hosts and you want to perform source or target activities, such as migration or cloning, you must configure a means for the managed hosts to receive data. Table 2‑13. Ports Required for the vCenter Server Appliance Port Description 80 443 902 8080 8443 10080 10443 10109 514 1514 6500 6501 6502 9090 9443 5480 5489 22 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. The vCenter Server system uses port 443 to monitor data transfer from SDK clients. The default port that the vCenter Server system uses 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.
