esxcfg-firewall –openport 81,tcp,out,updatemanager

Fixed: Intel quad-port nic and VST

When using VST half of the packets were dropped, for more info on the problem check these blogs: 1 , 2.
Fixed ESX Server support for Intel Zoar NICs on a VLAN trunking configuration. A flaw existed between the ESX Server networking subsystem and the igb driver.
