TMA-VMWARE-5.11
Host must isolate management communications
Descripción
Ensure that only vmk interfaces designated for management purposes have management services enabled to uphold network isolation and security. Incorrect configuration may undermine security efforts by breaching network isolation principles. Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.
Cómo se verifica
Método de auditoría: Revisión manual
Review VMkernel adapters with: esxcli network ip interface list Verify that management traffic is carried only on dedicated, approved VMkernel interfaces/VLANs and is not mixed with untrusted VM, storage, vMotion, or public traffic without an approved design.
Cómo se corrige
Método de corrección: Guía o parche de infraestructura
To remediate this recommendation, create or move management VMkernel interfaces to dedicated management port groups/VLANs, apply firewall/ACL restrictions, and remove management service flags from interfaces that do not require them. Test vCenter connectivity before deleting the old path.
