What do I have to do on my XG firewall so I can browse to the ESXi interface of my physical host?

Question

I am trying to access the web management interface to my ESXi physical host. I think something like a rule needs to be setup so that I can access it. 
 
 It has a static IP address of 192.168.1.115 
 My firewall has an internal IP address of 192.168.1.1 
 
 My laptop is connected to the firewall through a physical cable and is on the same subnet 
 
 I should be able to browse to it simply via https://192.168.1.155. 
 
 I don't want to expose it to the internet I just want to be on the LAN zone and be able to browse to it nothing more complicated than that. (Ill get to the VMs running on it later)

if your ESXi is reachable at 192.168.1.155 and your notebook is connected to the same subnet at a different interface of the XG ... it seems you use some kind of "bridging"...? 
 Yes, you need a rule to allow traffic passing the firewall. 
 Take a look to the "log viewer". input the IP of ESXi within search field. 
 You should see the traffic ... use these data to build the rule.
