Resetting the ESX host firewall policy in ESX 4.x
You cannot stop the firewall service in ESX 4.x. If you try, you see the
message:
Firewall can’t be stopped. To disable the firewall run:
esxcfg-firewall –allowIncoming –allowOutgoing
You can allow all packets through the firewall by running the command:
$ esxcfg-firewall --allowIncoming --allowOutgoing
To return the firewall configuration to its previous setting, run the
command:
$ esxcfg-firewall --blockIncoming --blockOutgoing
