Explanation:
Limit ESXi Access
By default, the ESXi Shell and SSH services are not running and only the root user can log in to the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI). If you decide to enable
ESXi or SSH access, you can set timeouts to limit the risk of unauthorized access.
ESXi enforces password requirements for direct access from the Direct Console User Interface, the ESXi Shell, SSH, or the vSphere Client.
