Hi all,
I'm looking for some assistance with a nested NSX lab I'm trying to build. I have followed the examples on the net but seem to be hitting a silly problem getting basic VXLAN up and running. I'm sure it's something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a single ESXi 5.5 running...
- vCenter Server Appliance
- Nested ESXi host 1 (compute node 1)
- Windows Server 1
- Nested ESXi host 2 (compute node 2)
- Windows Server 2
- Nested ESXi host 3 (management and edge node)
- NSX Manager
I have kept the base networking simple; the vCenter and nested ESXi hosts have a single vNIC (VM Network) and everything is sitting in 192.168.1.0/24. I then put all three hosts in a single cluster and setup a single Distributed Switch.
I have managed to:
- Register the vCenter with the NSX Manager
- Deployed a single NSX Controller (installed on nested host 3, also on 192.168.1.0/24)
- Prepared the hosts by installing the VIBs
- Created VTEP VMkernel interfaces (again I kept these on the same subnet - 192.168.1.0/24)
- Set Segment ID Pool (5000-5999)
- Created a new Transport Zone (unicast mode)
- Created a new Logical Switch (unicast mode)
- Connected Windows Server vNICs to Logical Switch
Ping tests between VTEP IPs works fine but VM traffic over VXLAN is not working.
Can anyone see anything obviously witch the above? Or could point be in the direction of what to check? I have hit the wall.
Many thanks
Bobby
