[Liksx]

Hello all    

Server - DELL PowerEdge T620

ESXI - VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0-1331820.x86_64-Dell_Customized_A00

1. Create instanse ( Windows 2012R2 )

2. add network adapter ( all default, Network label: VM Network, Adapter Type E1000 )

if manual configuration IP, work fine

via DHCP can't obtain IP address

Managment Network Properties -> obtain IP settings automatically -> IP address obtain correctly

but guest, nope........

what i can do? i have few ESXI host, and don't have this trouble....

DHCP configured on Cisco MLS Switch

Thx all

Welcome to the Community,

if a manually entered IP address works, then DHCP should work as well. Please double check whether the DHCP server has free addresses in the subnet in question. If the DHCP server is in a different subnet, you may also want to check whether DHCP helper addresses are configured properly on your router.

DHCP Scope reside same VLAN

Managment Interface ESXI, Work correctly

ip address automatically signed via DHCP and work very well

problem in guests OS

clean install ESXI, all properties defaults

sorry for the bad eng

PS promiscuous and other options dont help

Not sure what's causing this issue. The ESXi hosts doesn't block traffic for virtual machines, so this should not be an issue on the host side. How did you configure the physical switch port to which you connected the ESXi host? Maybe there's something configured which may be involved (e.g. port security, ...) For Cisco switches the port should either be configured as an access or trunk port (depending on your configuration) and spanning-tree should be set to portfast.
