What VMware Ports Need to Be Open?
You may have seen some maps before about what ports need to be opened for a fully functioning VMware virtual infrastructure. A co-worker of mine, Aaron Sweemer has posted the work of one of our non-blogging counterparts, Dudley Smith. Dudley has created not only a diagram (PDF here), but a dynamic mapping list to help cull out the chaff you might not need for your specific deployment:
Connections & Ports in ESX & ESXi
You can filter by vCenter, ESX only, and many other options.
Print the PDF and use it for your office/cube’s wallpaper. I know I sure will.
