Issue/Introduction

This article provides information on the port requirements for the VMware Cloud Foundation for Service Providers.

Resolution

Notes: 
  • The Bringup process depends on TCP 22, 443, 8443, 9443 on the SDDC Manager VM being accessible from the Cloud Builder VM.
  • The DNS/NTP/NFS ports on the SDDC Manager VM need to be accessible from the ESXi hosts.
  • If you have a firewall between your VMware Cloud Foundation environment and your Active Directory server, you must make sure that all of the necessary ports are opened.
  • If you have a firewall between your VMware Cloud Foundation environment and you Backup Server, please contact your system backup vendor for a list of the required open ports.
