vRealize Operations (vROps) is a VMware product that provides operational insights into the performance and capacity of virtual and physical infrastructure. vRealize Orchestrator (vRO) is another VMware product that provides workflow automation capabilities for vSphere and other VMware products.

To configure vRealize Operations to point to an external vRealize Orchestrator server, you need to set up an adapter instance for vRO in vROps. The adapter instance is responsible for communicating with the vRO server and retrieving data for vROps.

When you create the adapter instance, you need to specify the IP address or FQDN of the vRO server, as well as the port number that vRO is configured to use. By default, vRO uses port 8281 for HTTP traffic and port 8283 for HTTPS traffic.

In this case, the question states that the vRO server has been configured to use default ports. The default port for HTTP traffic is 8281, so the correct answer is C. 8281.

It's worth noting that vRO can be configured to use different ports for HTTP and HTTPS traffic, so it's important to check the configuration of the vRO server to confirm the correct port number. Additionally, if the vRO server is behind a firewall or NAT device, you may need to configure port forwarding or other network settings to ensure that vROps can communicate with vRO properly.
