Lockdown mode on an ESXi host
When Disabled - We can use Windows vSphere client to manage the ESXi host even when it is added to the vCenter Server.
The changes we made through vSphere client in the ESXi host will be reflected in the vCenter Server or added to the vCenter database after the polling interval (which is about 5 minutes).
When Enabled - We can manage the ESXi host remotely, only through vCenter Server to which the ESXi host is added. We can not access it using Windows vSphere client.
Note - We can manage the ESXi host using DCUI (Direct Console User Interface) by physically accessing it even when it is set to Enabled.
