  • 1.  No internet access on Vms

    Posted Nov 26, 2016 03:05 PM

    I have just spun up a whitebox esxi host. I am running 2 vms. Both VMs can ping everything on my local subnet, but they can't ping 192.168.1.1 or any external address. If I ping google.com, I get:

    # ping google.com

    PING google.com (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

    And the rest is just request timed out. I am new to Vmware so I am sure I have set something up wrong, but can't for the life of me figure out what.

    I have other devices on the LAN. All the devices can ping each other freely. The ESX hosts can ping google.com. It is just the 2 VMs that are unable to access the outside world. The network is setup like this:

    Internet ----- Netgear r6400 (192.168.1.1) ------ esxi host (192.168.1.101) ---------- VM #1 (192.168.1.102)

                                                                                                            |______ VM #2 (192.168.1.103)

    Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Does the router have some kind of security settings enabled, which may block multiple MAC addresses on a single switch port?

    Andre - Not that I am aware of. It doesn't care about the switch I have hooked up for a few of my other boxes. I will review the security settings on my router after I get home & let you know. Thanks

    I remoted into my router from work. I am not seeing any security restrictions that limit the number of MAC on a single port.

    So, Anyone else have any ideas or thoughts? I am kinda at a loss as to what I did, but I am sure I configured something wrong. so, just let me know what you need. I am at home now & have complete access to the host. Thanks.

    Nevermind, I figured it out. I had a route entered incorrectly. I was too sleepy to compute last night. I fixed it. Everything is ok now.
