Port 902 is typically used for remote console access to VMware ESXi hosts, also known as the Remote Console (VMRC) service. It allows administrators to access a virtual machine’s console screen to perform tasks such as troubleshooting, configuring settings, and managing the virtual machine’s operating system. Port 902 uses the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for encrypted communication between the client and server, ensuring the security of remote console access.
