-**Start discovery** | The appliance communicates with the vCenter server on TCP port 443 by default. If the vCenter server listens on a different port, you can configure it in the appliance configuration manager. | The appliance communicates with Windows servers over WinRM port 5986 (HTTPS) by default and with Linux servers over port 22 (TCP). <br/> If the HTTPS prerequisites are not configured on the target Hyper-V servers, communication will fall back to WinRM port 5985 (HTTP).<br/> To enforce HTTPS communication without fallback, toggle the Appliance Config Manager. After enabling, ensure the prerequisites are configured on the target servers. <br/> - If certificates are not configured on the target servers, discovery will fail on both current and newly added servers. <br/> - WinRM HTTPS requires a local computer Server Authentication certificate with a CN matching the hostname to be installed. The certificate must not be expired, revoked, or self-signed. For more details on configuring WinRM for HTTPS, please refer to this [article](/troubleshoot/windows-client/system-management-components/configure-winrm-for-https).| The appliance communicates with Windows servers over WinRM port 5986 (HTTPS) by default and with Linux servers over port 22 (TCP).
