• Router and Switch cannot ping each other

  Hello

  I just build a lab at home.

  In my current lab, I have 2 SW and 3 the router.

  I have a problem, I do not know what Miss me in my config. My router cannot ping my SW.

  and I also want to change my LAN from VLAN 1 interface connection at 30 of VLAN... but when I configure the VLAN 30 he show me line is in PLACE but the Protocol is DOWN.

  Another question, if I want to create a VLAN with a different address, what should I do?

  for example

  VLAN 10 > 10.10.10.1

  VLAN 20 > 20.20.20.1
  etc...

  Eliane,

  Please remove the etherchannel port f0/24 of the switch configuration and store it in the trunk.

  interface FastEthernet0/24 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30 switchport mode trunk switchport nonegotiate channel-group 1 mode active  <<< Remove this 

  Configure f0 on the router as trunk I think has 877, a switchport which fe interfaces are a part of. To display the corresponding Lass on the router, that you need to configure the VLANS corresponding on the router, then only the Lass will be in a State of going / up otherwise it will be in a down state. See if that helps. Thank you, hyacinth

• DLR Uplink and GSS internal transit same VXLAN cannot ping each other.

  Start with, I run NSX 6.2.2 firewall rules on 'allow all' to 'all' to 'all' "all protocols", in other words disabled...

  I have a VXLAN 5000 transit, with an uplink DLR interface attached to it, and an internal interface GSS in the appendix in which neither of the parties can ping to another. So for troubleshooting, I added 2 VM Windows attached to the same transit VXLAN 5000, a virtual machine is on ESXi host 1 and the other is on host ESXi 4. They can fine ping each other, and two virtual machines can ping both the uplink of DLR and internal interfaces of the GSS.

  This question has puzzled me because it makes no sense, why the DLR and the GSS cannot ping each other but 2 virtual machines that VXLAN can ping all adjacent devices. I can even put bridges on those virtual machines with a rule NAT on the GSS and those virtual machines can get internet through the GSS, but no matter what I try, the DLR cannot ping the GSS, and the GSS cannot ping DLR...

  I need to define a static route between the GSS DLR <>- but if I can't even answer ping interfaces I'm dead in the water.

  If I install virtual machines in a network LAN DLR interface such as WebApp and test for example database, I can ping throughout the DLR together until the IP DLR Uplink, but then he cannot ping the GSS internal.

  Does anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting? Test commands that I can run? I tried many things and then lots of websites with the troubleshooting steps. Everything seems fine, all green checks in the installation steps... All roads, MACs, ARP tables appear as expected when I run test on host computers commands and controllers. I don't know what is the cause except for a bug in the code...

  All ideas are welcome... Thank you

  UPDATE:

  Yes, so it has need of a static NAT rule on the GSS...

  In my environment, I added a SNAT rule on adapter: ESG_Uplink with 0.0.0.0/24 CBC-translation dst: 1.1.1.101 (my lab ESG IP Uplink).

  It works now... VM tenant box connected to WebApp portgroup (192.168.13.115) can now ping gateway DLR, through routing OSPF to the GSS and ping on physical bridge of...

  I learned a lot on this one... I'm not going to worry about why the static route, I tried first post didn't work, since I was the OSPF running instead (which is more appropriate for my laboratory for realistic scenario anyway), and the Foundation will now suffice to build the rest of this POC vRA / vRO lab...

  Thank you in any case, sometimes it's just nice to have someone to listen.

• 2 vSpheres cannot ping each other that are built on vSphere.

  On host A, which is vSpere 4.0, made up of two hosts who are vSpheres 4.0 with vSwitch. Each can ping itself, but cannot ping each other, too, cannot ping A host. After that the two hosts are moved to dvSwich, has achieved some results. But another VM on the dvSwitch is fine.

  Moreover, I need to practice the vHA and vmotion. So, I need two some configuration for her guests. As a result, I built two hosts on A host.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you!

  George,

  You must set the Promiscuous Mode to Accept on vSwitch guests (--> security properties).

• Cluster nodes cannot ping each other

  Hello

  I recently put one of our old clusters online it's a server poweredge 1855. I work at 5 knots, and there a PowerConnect 5316 M switch on the back. 5316M has only 1 cable connecting the switch to uplink.

  Each blade has 2 NIC one of them is a NIC, with a normal IP on our range of normal production. All blades can ping this address each other, and they all have internet.

  The other NETWORK adapter is what I use for live migration, or pulsation of cluster or something... Whatever it is, it has a different range with no gateway (172.50.1.x)

  Now 3 of the blades can all ping eachother, but not the other 2. And 2 that can not ping, can ping each other. It seems that the 2 are on the same VLAN, and the other 3 are on the same VLAN.

  The problem I have, is the switch shows them all on the VLAN by default... and one thing that I can't work... If the servers all have 2 network cards, but there are only 10 ports on the internal switch?... so, how can I set or the other card NETWORK on one VLAN different?

  The configuration of the switch is here:

  This document does a good job of showing how interconnections.

  Module e/s 1 goes to port 1 and i/o 2 module goes to port 2 of the LOM standard.

  It is therefore useful to check what ports are used by the server. If the 3 are on port 1 and then the other 2 are on port 2, try to get all the 172.50.1.x addresses assigned to port 2 for example.

• Cisco ezvpn ASAs cannot ping each other inside interfaces

  I have a set ezvpn in place with a 5506 (position B) client-side and a 5520 (location A) server-side. I have successfully connected vpn, and traffic flows. My problem is that I can't SSH in the location b. investigate this more than I can not ping is within the interface of the ASA opposing, or the machines inside each ASA ASA.

  I found the following links that describes a scenario similar to mine, but nothing on one of them helped me.

  I joined sanitized versions of these two configs. Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Adam

  The site of B I'm not able to see "management of access to inside. Please try to set up the same. He could solve the problem.

  Also on the instruction of the ASA takes place nat can you please try to add keywords 'search non-proxy-arp route'.

  something like:

  nat (inside,outside) source static (Location A)_Networks (Location A)_Networks destination static (location B)-remote_network (location B)-remote_network no-proxy-arp route-lookup

  as I have noted problems with inside access to interface via the VPN when those keywords are not applied. If I remember correctly 8.6.x ASA version had a bug regarding the same. Cordially Véronique

• Two VMS on different networks and ping each other

  Hello

  I'm using VMware Workstation for the first time. I have two VM and I want them to be on two different networks. I want that networks be able to ping each other. I did research on this since yesterday and nothing seems to work. Perhaps I am confused with the bridge, the Nat and host-only adapters. What I have is:

  VM1-> has two network adapters: VMNET1-Host-Only (192.168.247.128) and VMNET8-NAT (192.168.42.130)

  I'm not able to have the internet connection on the HOST only

  VM2-> has a network card: VMNET8-NAT (192.168.42.129)

  Each virtual machine I can ping everything on the other virtual machine, but it seems a little odd.

  Is there another way to do this?

  Thank you very much

  Although you can create several networks in VMware Workstation, there is no possibility of embedding to do the routing.

• How to restore a distributed virtual switch.

  Hello

  I have a question where one of my esx host 4 i crashed and then we rebuild the host vmware and I have the backup of the file esx.conf with me since the day before. I had a virtual switch distributed in the vmware environment, and since I rebooted the backup config that my vcenter does not add the host esx to the distributed virtual switch.

  -How to restore the vswitch distributed on the esxi host settings.

  -When I look on the esxi configuration host configuration file indicates that DVS information are uploaded but vcenter does not overwrite the new settings.

  troubleshooting performed up to now

  I restarted the vcenter and all services and same problem.

  forced file configuration several times and same question

  has taken the esx host that out of the inventory and the same issue.

  any other suggestions.

  The answer to this has been found in Vcenter 5.1 where there is an option to save the DV switch. I connected this bug a few years back with vmware and this problem is fixed in vcenter 5.1.

• How to change the security policy of a group of distributed in a distributed virtual switch ports?

  Hello

  I am trying to write a Perl script that can modify the security policy of a group of distributed in a distributed virtual switch ports. I can access the values of security policy by using the following:

  
  

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > allowPromiscuous-> value

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > forgedTransmits-> value

  $port_group_view-> config - > defaultPortConfig-> securityPolicy - > macChanges-> value

  I try to use the method ReconfigureDVPortgroup_Task() of the managed object DistributedVirtualPortGroup. While creating a new instance of DVPortgroupConfigSpec, within the data spec config defaultPortConfig property object there is property of security policy and I couldn't find any other property pointing me to that I can update the security policy. I discovered that it is accessible via defaultPortConfig, stretching from VMwareDVSPortSetting where securityPolicy is a property of VMwareDVSPortSetting.

  What is the way to update? I am bit confused about terminology Extends and extended by and how it relates to the other.

  Concerning

  Akmal

  It is in DVPortgroupConfigSpec, but you will need to use the extended VMwareDVSPortSetting object.

  My $dvpg_spec = new DVPortgroupConfigSpec();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} = new VMwareDVSPortSetting();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} = new DVSSecurityPolicy();

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {allowPromiscuous} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {forgedTransmits} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  $dvpg_spec-> {defaultPortConfig} {securityPolicy} {macChanges} = new BoolPolicy (value-online 1, inherited-0 online);

  You could probably simplify this by getting the config spec VGA and change it before using it in the ReconfigureDVPorgroup_Task() method.

• Distributed Virtual Switch 5.1 update

  Hi all

  We have a vmware vsphere Cluster with 7 v 5.1 ESXi hosts 838463

  We have the form of upgrade version 5.0 to 5.1 ESXi ESXi and vCenter Server since version 5.0 to 5.1 September 2012.

  Now, I noticed that (just a little late...  ;-)) all the distributed virtual switches (we have 2 DVS) need to upgrade.  Version of DVS resulted, in fact, to be 5.0.

  (I saw in vSphere client connected to the server vCenter Server - networking).

  I wasn't expecting this behavior, DVS independent upgrade of host or vcenter server upgrade?

  It is possible DVS upgrade during the normal activity of the infrastructure?

  Thanks in advance

  Anna

  Think about the situation,

  don't forget that a dVS is a virtual switch split on all hosts, if the dVS has been automatically upgraded to the new version and there were incompatibilities or new features that were not available in the switch downstream you might run the risk of a network outage.

  in my opinion rightly done VMware cela a phyiscal post upgrade task,

• A distributed virtual switch and create Portgroup

  I'm looking to automate the "creation" of the distributed virtual switches and exchanges.

  I was unable to justify these functions in the released PowerCLI.

  I only found orders that allow me to refer to an "existing" Distributed Virtual Switch.
  I've seen references to a "adventure".  But all the dates related to the 'adventure' seem to be well over a year.

  What programmatic support exists for 'creation' of distributed virtual switches and exchanges?

  Luc's response was right, that if you cannot use the fling then the module is probably the best place to watch right now.  While we cannot commit future versions, I can say that vDS is high on our list of priorities and we hope a future release will include supported cmdlets to work with.

• Distributed Virtual Switch supporting guests with different numbers of natachasery

  Our environment has had the same ESXi host model for some time. Each has interfaces from 2 to 10 GB for the traffic of the virtual machine. We use a virtual switch distributed with 2 uplinks. Now, we stand at a new environment where there are 2 types of hosts. (1) a small workload ESXi host with interfaces of 2 to 10 GB and (2) a large load of work sESXI host with 4 to 10 GB interfaces. They are seperasted in 2 groups (large and small workload workload).

  I had planned to share a Distributed Switch between the 2 groups, so I could move freely between them according to the needs. The only distinction of level of ESXi host is the power of horse and the I/O bandwidth (storage and networks VM will be used will be the same). It dawned on me that the distributed switch is configured with a particular number of uplinks. I'm trying to picture how this will work in this situation? I thought that I create a vSwitch distributed with 4 uplinks and finish by only using 2 of these uplinks when adding a small amount of work ESXi host to it. This is a valid configuration. Should I disable or do something special with the uplinks unused? I have not met this configuration so I wanted some tips on the correct configuration.

  I have validated this configuration as described previously. A dVS with 4 uplinks can take care of the guests with "up to" 4 interfaces. Hosts with only 2 interfaces will have 2 of the 4 links rising dVS associated with natachasery while the other 2 will remain unused. In my case, I decided to use the uplink 1 and 2. Uplinks 3 and 4 are not used with these hosts.

  Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  In Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

  Discovery of plug in the network
  Open the files and printers sharing
  Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
  Plug the password protected sharing

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

  Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  D. create shares as desired. In Windows 7/Vista I usually shares its office and the Public directory.

  E. After you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.
