VMware ESXi System Requirements

To support internationalized characters in the VMware vCenter environment ensure that the vCenter character encoding is set to UTF-8.

Network Firewall Requirements

Following are the Network Firewall Requirements for V Series 2 node deployment.

Direction	Type	Protocol	Port	Source/Destination	Purpose
GigaVUE‑FM
Inbound	● HTTPS ● SSH	TCP	● 443 ● 22	Administrator Subnet	Management connection to GigaVUE‑FM
Outbound	HTTPS	TCP	443	All ESXi hosts IP and vCenter IP	Allows GigaVUE‑FM to communicate with vCenter and all ESXi hosts and NSX-T managers to import the V Series OVA files
Outbound	Custom TCP Rule	TCP	8889	V Series 2 Node IP	Allows GigaVUE‑FM to communicate with V Series node
V Series 2 node
Inbound	Custom TCP Rule	TCP	8889	GigaVUE-FM IP	Allows GigaVUE‑FM to communicate with V Series node
Inbound	● UDP ● IP	● UDP (VXLAN) ● GRE ● UDPGRE	● 4789 ● Protocol 47 ● 4754	Ingress Tunnel	Allows to UDPGRE Tunnel to communicate and tunnel traffic to V Series nodes
Outbound	Custom UDP Rule	UDP (VXLAN)	VXLAN (default 4789)	Tool IP	Allows V Series node to communicate and tunnel traffic to the Tool
Outbound (optional)	ICMP	ICMP	● echo request ● echo reply	Tool IP	Allows V Series node to health check tunnel destination traffic

Required VMware Virtual Center Privileges

This section lists the minimum privileges required for the GigaVUE‑FM user in Virtual Center. You assign privileges to Virtual Center users by selecting Roles > Administration > Role, and then use the Edit Role dialog box in vCenter. Roles should be applied at the vSphere Virtual Center level and not the Data Center or Host levels.

The following table lists the minimum required permissions for GigaVUE‑FM to manage the virtual center user with roles specified above.

Category	Required Privilege	Purpose
Host	Configuration ■   Network Configuration	VSS Tapping
	Inventory ■   Modify Cluster	Pin V Series Node to the host in cluster configurations. This prevents automatic migration.
Datastore	■   Allocate space	V Series Node Deployment
Distributed Switch	■   VSPAN Operation	VDS Tapping
Network	■   Assign network ■   Configure	V Series Node Deployment/VSS Tapping V Series Node Deployment
Resource	■   Assign virtual machine to resource pool	V Series Node Deployment
vApp	■   Import ■   vApp instance configuration	V Series Node Deployment V Series Node Deployment
Virtual machine	Configuration ■   Add new disk ■   Add or remove device ■   Modify device settings ■   Rename	V Series Node Deployment V Series Node Deployment/VSS Tapping
	Interaction ■   Connect devices ■   Power on ■   Power Off	V Series Node Deployment V Series Node Deployment V Series Node Deployment
	Inventory ■   Create from existing ■   Remove	V Series Node Deployment V Series Node Deployment
	Provisioning ■   Clone virtual machine	V Series Node Deployment
