Port Service Protocol Access Direction Description
5988 Common
Information Model
(CIM) Server
TCP 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.
31031 vSphere
Replication,
VMware Site
Recovery Manager
TCP Outbound Used for ongoing replication traffic by
vSphere Replication and VMware Site
Recovery Manager.
44046 vSphere
Replication,
VMware Site
Recovery Manager
TCP Outbound Used for ongoing replication traffic by
vSphere Replication and VMware Site
Recovery Manager.
