To establish proper connectivity for Discovery to vCenter, alternate ports are required if default ports are unavailable or customized.

By default, vCenter discovery initiates on these ports:

• vmapp6_https: 9443
• vmapp_https: 5480

When these ports are detected, the VMWare - vCenter datacenters probe is triggered.
