firewall settings for Dell vmcli to work
I am trying to use vmcli utility on a management station running RHEL 6 to mount an ISO (located on the same management station) to iDRAC virtual media. I am ready to request opening firewall port 5900. However I do have some questions:
1. Does port 5900 have to opened for both tcp and udp?
2. Does the management station need to be able to reach the iDRAC network on that port or is it the other way around? Or does the port need to be opened both direction?

Josh Craig,
Why does the port need to be open both ways? And can we use UDP instead of TCP?

The communication is both ways. The iDRAC uses TCP, you can try UDP but it may not work properly.

Hi,
Opening the ports on just TCP should be enough for the iDRAC to function. It needs to be open both ways.
