Final answer:

To log into the vSphere Client, you need the IP address or hostname of the server, as well as the username and password for authentication.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the vSphere Client to manage your virtual environments, you are required to enter the following information at the login screen:

  • IP address or hostname of the vSphere server (ESXi host or vCenter Server).
  • Username with which you want to log in.
  • Password associated with the username.

Entering these credentials accurately ensures you can connect to the vSphere server and manage your virtual machines and other virtual infrastructure components. If you are connecting directly to an ESXi host, the username is often 'root' with the password you set during the initial configuration. For vCenter Server, the credentials would be those of an administrative user account or an account with sufficient privileges that has been granted access to vCenter.
