Hi,
I have a bridge between a vxlan and a vlan, but I can not ping anything in the vlan side, my arp table remains "incomplete" and the bridge mac-address-table remains empty.
Connecting the DPG to the vnic of the VM I can ping correctly, any ideas?
thanks!
Try to follow the wire using this command in the ESXi host:
pktcap-uw --uplink vmnic1 --dir 0 --stage 0 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet entering vmnic adapter from external network
pktcap-uw --uplink vmnic1 --dir 0 --stage 1 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet captured before entering virtual switch
pktcap-uw --switchport <SwitchPortID> --dir 1 --stage 0 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet captured entering virtual switch
pktcap-uw --switchport <SwitchPortID> --dir 1 --stage 1 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet exiting virtual switch towards virtual machine
pktcap-uw --switchport <SwitchPortID> --dir 0 --stage 0 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet exiting virtual machine towards virtual switch
pktcap-uw --switchport <SwitchPortID> --dir 0 --stage 1 -o | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet exiting virtual switch towards vmnic
pktcap-uw --uplink vmnic1 --dir 1 --stage 0 -0 | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet entering vmnic before exiting vmnic
pktcap-uw --uplink vmnic1 --dir 0 --stage 1 -0 | tcpdump-uw enr - icmp - Packet exiting vmnic adapter towards the external network
to get the switchport the command is "net-stats -l"
On the other hand check if re-create the brige make it works.
Recreated several times and also recreated the DLR, but nothing, I'll try to do the capture!
Hi n3m3515, I am assuming you have created the bridge with following steps in the article.
Configuring Layer 2 Bridging in NSX
Did you validate if you are able to reach both ends from the control VM.

Hi Beingnsxpaddy,
yes, the configuration of the bridge is so simple, this is the first time i have this issue.
thanks
Are you able to see the entries in control VM, such as mac table and arp cache.
The mac-address-table stay empty for the vlan side, i watch only the entries on vxlan side.
Check your controllers are still OK. they can partially break, like if /var/log fills up, and the controllers will report healthy, but L2 on new connections will fail, MAC learning stops, etc...
