You can also use the Windows Scripted CLI to modify the default ports which you can find more information here. If you ever wonder what ports were selected for either a vCenter Server or Platform Services Controller, you can easily find that by following the instructions in this article.įor customers using the Windows version of vCenter Server, you do have the option of modifying the default ports using the Guided UI since there is no guarantee these ports are not in use as VMware does not control the underlying OS. If everything was successful, when you connect to the VCSA, you should see that we no longer use the default port of 443 to connect to the vCenter Server as you can see from the screenshot below. The key is properly escape the inner-double quotations since ports accepts a single string input. Lets say we wish to change the default HTTPS Reverse Proxy from 443 to 13443 and PSC's STS port from 7444 to 7441, you will need to specify it as shown in the example below. It actually took me a bit of time to figure out the exact syntax as this was not clearly documented anywhere. Under the 'Networking' section of the JSON configuration file, there is a 'Ports' field which accepts a JSON encoded string of the ports you wish to modify. The variable port names are required in the JSON configuration file if you decide to modify from the default. Below is a table of the ports that can be modified which includes the variable name, default port number and their port usage which is described in the vSphere 6.0 documentation here. However, if you deploy using the new Scripted CLI installer, you do have the option of overriding some of the default ports.

If you deploy the VCSA using the new Guided UI installer, you will not be able to modify the default network ports. It is also important to note that changing the default network ports post-installation is not supported.ĭisclaimer: This is not officially supported by VMware, please use at your own risk. I am a big fan of strong defaults which can help reduce the number of steps it takes to deploy the VCSA, however I do understand that there are some organizations who may have specific security requirements which requires them to change some of the default ports.

It is generally recommended to stick with these defaults unless you have a really good reason to modify them. When deploying the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA), there are a set default network ports that are already pre-defined by VMware.
