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, you can run the LDAP service on any port from 1025 through
65535.
vCenter Server system uses to listen for connections from the vSphere Client.
vCenter Agent. Host DPM with HP iLO Remote Management and Control Protocol
DPM with IPMI (iLO/BMC) ASF Remote Management and Control Protocol
vCenter Server Linked Mode, this is the SSL port of the local instance.
vCenter Server system uses to send data to managed hosts. This port must not be
blocked by firewalls between the server and the hosts or between hosts.
Managed hosts send a regular heartbeat to the vCenter Server system. This port
must not be blocked by firewalls between the server and the hosts or between
hosts.
vSphere Client uses this ports to display virtual machine consoles.

Host access to other hosts for migration and provisioning


Only applicable for vCenter Server Virtual Appliance - used for accessing VAMI
page of vCenter Server Appliance over HTTPS
Bi-directional RPC communication on dynamic TCP ports is required between all
vCenters that need to replicate (via ADAM). A VIC still needs a direct connection to
all vCenters that own an object it needs to manage.
