Configuring the Client Connection Port
Clients such as the vSphere Web Client or vCenter Server Heartbeat Console connect to vCenter Server
Heartbeat using the Client Connection Port. Do not change this port unless another application is using it.
Procedure
◆
To change the Client Connection Port, click the Machine tab, edit the default entry (52267) and click Next
or Finish.
Configuring the VMware Channel
Use the Configure Server wizard Channel tab to configure Channel Routing, Default Channel Port, and Low
Bandwidth Optimization.
Configuring Channel Routing
Channel IP Routing defines the IP addresses used to communicate between the Primary and Secondary nodes.
Each link has a pair of IP addresses, one for the Primary and one for the Secondary.
To add an additional VMware Channel:
Procedure
1 Install and configure the additional NICs.
2 Launch the Configure Server wizard and click the Channel tab.
3 Click Add Row to add new IP addresses for both the Primary and Secondary nodes to the VMware Channel
IP Routing table.
4 Use the drop-down menu to view a list of available IP addresses on the local node.
5 Type the remote node's IP address.
