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
