So I have our two vCenters in LANsweeper but they are both showing "RPC Unavailable" errors. I read through the knowledge base and it mentions that a few ports need to be closed on the vCenter in order for LANsweeper to scan it properly. I used the connectivity test and it shows port 135 open.
My question might sound stupid but what's the best way to close this port? From what I know, it can't be done on the vCenter appliance itself. So would I just create an ACL on the switch the esxi hosts are plugged into and block access to that port between the VM running LANsweeper and the VCSA? Or is there a better way?
We are running LANsweeper 10.0.2.0 (I know we need to update it) and vCenter 7.0 update 3o
