Port > Virtualization Ports

Posted on by Support Tips

Virtualization technology allows multiple virtual instances (virtual machines or containers) to run on a single physical server. To manage and communicate with these virtualized environments, various ports and protocols are used. Here are some commonly used virtualization ports and their associated virtualization technologies:

  1. Port 22: SSH (Secure Shell) – SSH is often used for secure remote access to virtual machines or containers.
  2. Port 3389: RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) – RDP is used for remote desktop access to Windows-based virtual machines.
  3. Port 5900: VNC (Virtual Network Computing) – VNC is used for remote desktop sharing and access to virtualized environments.
  4. Port 5985 and 5986: WinRM (Windows Remote Management) – WinRM is used for managing and scripting Windows-based virtual machines and servers.
  5. Port 80 and 443: HTTP/HTTPS – Web-based interfaces for managing virtualization platforms, such as VMware vSphere, may use standard web ports for configuration and monitoring.
  6. Port 5901: VNC Alternate – An alternative port for VNC-based remote access.
  7. Port 10000: Webmin – Webmin is a web-based system configuration tool that can be used for managing virtualization environments.
  8. Port 8040: Puppet – Puppet is a configuration management and automation tool used in virtualization environments.
  9. Port 18083: VirtualBox Web Console – Oracle VirtualBox offers a web-based management console that uses port 18083.
  10. Port 5988: WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) – WBEM is used for standardized management of virtualized resources.
  11. Port 22: SSH Alternate – An alternative SSH port sometimes used for secure remote access.
  12. Port 427: SLP (Service Location Protocol) – SLP is used for discovering and managing resources in virtualized environments.
  13. Port 111: RPC (Remote Procedure Call) – RPC may be used for communication between virtualization management tools and hosts.
  14. Port 162: SNMP Trap – SNMP traps are used for monitoring and management in virtualized environments.
  15. Port 17500: Dropbox LAN Sync – Dropbox LAN Sync may use this port for local file synchronization in virtualized environments.

Please note that the use of these ports can vary depending on the virtualization platform and management tools in use. Virtualization technology is integral to modern IT infrastructure, and these ports are essential for managing and accessing virtualized instances efficiently and securely.
