Missing from the discussion: A change to the firewall will also affect the service in question. For example, if you disable SSH via the esxcfg-firewall or VIC the service will also be disabled. This will prevent the SSH daemon from starting on boot. A current SSH session is unaffected but no further sessions can be created. The same holds true for all other daemons that use the network that can be affected by changing the default firewall.
