Many necessary administrative functions on ESXi requires SSH access. For
example, offline bundles, third party management utilities, backup
utilities, and many other tasks require you to log in to the ESXi
console, via SSH or physically. This post will guide you through the
process of enabling the SSH service, and opening up the firewall to
allow access. This process works on all versions of ESXi, including the
newer versions such as 5, 5.5, and 6. Lets get started.
