Port information

This section lists all the port requirements to configure your virtual appliance and managed nodes.

Table 1. Virtual applianceThe following table specifies the different port numbers, port types, protocols, and their usage in a virtual appliance:
Port Number	Protocols	Port Type	Maximum Encryption Level	Direction	Destination	Usage	Description
53	DNS	TCP	None	Out	OMIVV appliance to DNS server	DNS client	Connectivity to the DNS server or resolving the host names.
80/443	HTTP/HTTPS	TCP	None	Out	OMIVV appliance to Internet	Dell Online Data Access	Connectivity to the online (Internet) warranty, firmware, and latest RPM information.
80	HTTP	TCP	None	In	ESXi server to OMIVV appliance	HTTP server	Used in operating system deployment flow for post installation scripts to communicate with the OMIVV appliance.
162	SNMP Agent	UDP	None	In	iDRAC/ESXi to OMIVV appliance	SNMP Agent (server)	To receive SNMP traps from managed nodes.
443	HTTPS	TCP	128-bit	In	OMIVV UI to OMIVV appliance	HTTPS server	Web services offered by OMIVV. These Web services are consumed by vSphere Client and Dell Admin portal.
443	WSMAN	TCP	128-bit	In/Out	OMIVV appliance to or from iDRAC	iDRAC communication	iDRAC and CMC or OME-Modular communication, used to manage and monitor the managed nodes.
445	SMB	TCP	128-bit	Out	OMIVV appliance to CIFS	CIFS communication	To communicate with Windows share.
4433	HTTPS	TCP	128-bit	In	iDRAC to OMIVV appliance	Auto Discovery	Provisioning server that is used for auto discovering managed nodes.
2049	NFS	UDP/TCP	None	In/Out	OMIVV appliance to NFS	Public Share	NFS public share that is exposed by OMIVV appliance to the managed nodes and used in firmware update and operating system deployment flows.
4001 to 4004	NFS	UDP/TCP	None	In/Out	OMIVV appliance to NFS	Public Share	These ports must be kept open to run the statd, quotd, lockd, and mountd services by the V2 and V3 protocols of the NFS server.
11620	SNMP Agent	UDP	None	In	iDRAC to OMIVV appliance	SNMP Agent (server)	Port used to receive the standard SNMP alerts by using UDP: 162. Data from iDRAC and CMC or OME-Modular are received to manage and monitor the managed nodes.
User-defined	Any	UDP/TCP	None	Out	OMIVV appliance to proxy server	Proxy	To communicate with the proxy server.

Table 2. Managed nodes (ESXi)The following table specifies the different port numbers, port types, protocols, and their usage in a managed node:
Port Number	Protocols	Port Type	Maximum Encryption Level	Direction	Destination	Usage	Description
162, 11620	SNMP	UDP	None	Out	ESXi to OMIVV appliance	Hardware Events	Asynchronous SNMP traps that are sent from ESXi. This port have to open from ESXi.
443	WSMAN	TCP	128-bit	In	OMIVV appliance to ESXi	iDRAC communication	Used to provide information to the management station. This port has to open from ESXi.
443	HTTPS	TCP	128-bit	In	OMIVV appliance to ESXi	HTTPS server	Used to provide information to the management station. This port has to open from ESXi.

Table 3. Managed nodes (iDRAC or CMC or OME-Modular)The following table specifies the different port numbers, port types, protocols, and their usage in a virtual appliance:
Port Number	Protocols	Port Type	Maximum Encryption Level	Direction	Destination	Usage	Description
443	WSMAN/HTTPS, REST/HTTPS	TCP	128-bit	In	OMIVV appliance to iDRAC or CMC or OME-Modular	iDRAC communication	Used to provide information to the management station and communicate to MX chassis by using REST or HTTPS protocols. This port has to open from iDRAC and CMC or OME-Modular.
4433	HTTPS	TCP	128-bit	Out	iDRAC to OMIVV appliance	Auto Discovery	For auto discovering iDRAC (managed nodes) in the management station.
2049	NFS	UDP	None	In/Out	iDRAC to/from OMIVV	Public Share	For iDRAC to access NFS public share that is exposed by OMIVV appliance. That is used for operating system deployment and firmware update. To access the iDRAC configurations from the OMIVV. Used in deployment flow.
4001 to 4004	NFS	UDP	None	In/Out	iDRAC to/from OMIVV	Public Share	For iDRAC to access NFS public share that is exposed by OMIVV appliance. This is used for operating system deployment and firmware update. To access the iDRAC configurations from the OMIVV. Used in deployment flow.
69	TFTP	UDP	128-bit	In/Out	iDRAC to/from OMIVV	Trivial File Transfer	Used for managing the iDRAC successfully from the management station.
