Syslog host configuration using VMware

VMware ESX 3.5 and 4.0 blocks the Syslog outbound port 514 by default. Therefore you must 
configure the firewall to allow outgoing port 514 for Syslog if you plan to use the Syslog host 
configuration feature in DCFM or if you access HCM through DCFM.

Use the following procedure if the outgoing UDP port 514 is blocked by the VMware ESX firewall.

1. Restart the HCM Agent if the firewall settings on port 514 change in VMware. 

2. Use the following command to open port 514:

esxcfg-firewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog

3. Use the following command to block outgoing traffic through port 514:

esxcfg-firewall -c 514,udp,out,syslog
