Host must isolate management communications

MoyenneNiveau 1Revue manuellevmware

Description

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.

Méthode de correction

Méthode de correction: Recommandation ou correctif d'infrastructure

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.
