Back in April 2012, I posted on my blog my original Horizon View network firewall ports diagram. Over the past two years, it’s been used widely both internally at VMware and in the community. Since Horizon 6 just recently released, I thought I’d create a brand new full size diagram to include Cloud Pod Architecture. This updated diagram contains a better layout and a new color theme to boot! This image is 3767 x 2355 pixels, so simply click it to enlarge then ‘Save Image’ to get the full size HD version.
You’ll notice the addition of VIPA (View inter-pod API) and ADLDS port 22389 which are both used for Cloud Pod Architecture. Bear in mind that between your View Pods, you will still require the usual Active Directory ports.
Key Firewall Considerations for VMware Horizon 6
- TCP 8472: View interpod API (Cloud Pod Architecture) – NEW
- TCP 22389: Global ADLDS (Cloud Pod Architecture) – NEW
- HTTPS (443): Horizon Client access, authentication and RDP tunnel (HTTPS Secure Gateway)
- HTTPS (8443): Used by HTML Access (Blast)
- HTTPS (22443): HTML Access (Blast) to Virtual Desktops
- TCP 9427: Used by Windows multimedia redirection (MMR)
- TCP 32111: USB Redirection
- ESP (Protocol 50) used for Security Server and Connection Server IPSEC communication (requires Windows firewall with Advanced Security to be enabled)
- UDP 500: IPsec negotiation for Security Server and Connection Server communication and pairing.
For a full list of network ports please refer to the latest Horizon 6 documentation: https://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/view_pubs.html

Great diagram! I know you mention the link for the full list of ports. I was wondering is there a reason you left off TCP 902 from Composer to the ESXi Hosts? I’ve been bit by this one before, and just wanted to check. Thanks!
