When it comes to securing inbound/outbound host traffic is there a comprehensive list of native vSphere/vCenter services (in English) that shows which systems require what ports? For instance, I am assuming that access to certain ports/services are needed by vCenter, and some of them are very obvious, but the rest might as well be in Latin. For example, CIM Server. I have no idea who or what needs access to it, but it's there by default and I know that the firewall rule should not be set to "all". vShield-Endpoint-Mux - where should I be letting this traffic go to?
Most of the rules/services are not necessarily "friendly-names" and I am not finding much in the way of guidance on a few of them. While I love reading white-papers it would be nice to be able to quickly secure a host without having to read a stack of papers.
Any help is appreciated.
