Network Port list of vSphere 5.5 Components

Year by year vSphere platform becomes more complex. It is pretty logical as Virtualization is de facto standard on modern datacenters and new enterprise capabilities are required by VMware users.

At the beginning of Vmware Server Virtualization there were just vCenter (Virtual Center, database and simple integration with active directory). Today vSphere management plane is composed from more software components integrated over network. So it becomes more complex ... 

Although using, consulting and architecting vSphere daily, sometimes I get lost in the network ports of vSphere components.

That's the reason I have created and will maintain following vSphere Component network ports table.

Component	L7 Protocol	L3 Protocol/Port
vCenter  Single Sign-On	https	tcp/7444
vSphere Web Client HTTPS port https://WebClient_host_FQDN_or_IP:9443	https	tcp/9443
vSphere Web Client HTTP port	http	tcp/9090
vCenter Inventory Service https://Inventory_Service_host_FQDN_or_IP:10443	https	tcp/10443
vCenter Inventory Service management port	unknown	tcp/10109
vCenter Inventory Service Linked Mode communication port	unknown	tcp/10111
vCenter SSO Lookup Service https://SSO_host_FQDN_or_IP:7444/lookupservice/sdk	https	tcp/7444
vCenter Server HTTPS port	https	tcp/443
vCenter Server HTTP port	http	tcp/80
vCenter Server Management Web Services HTTP	http	tcp/8080
vCenter Server Management Web Services HTTPS	https	tcp/8080
vCenter Server Web Service - Change Service Notification	https	tcp/60099
vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) - VAMI management GUI https://VCSA_host_FQDN_or_IP:5480	https	tcp/5480

I'll add other components to the list as needed in the future ...
