ESXI 5.5 getting disconnected from VCenter

Hi All,

I have 2 ESXi host which has the 4 NICS and below is their ip address

Mgmt ip - 10.192.11.xx(VLAN 21)

Vmotion - 10.192,12.xx(VLAN22)

VM network - 10.192.13.xx(VLAN24)

Each has different gateway. When i configure all NICs in a DV switch. Vcenter connectivity is getting disconnected. Is this IP assignment is correct.

My Question is like we have different subnets. Is it ok for configuring different subnets for Mgmt, Vmotion and VM.

Please help me

Welcome to the Community,

Is it ok for configuring different subnets for Mgmt, Vmotion and VM.

Yes, that's definitely ok. In fact, vMotion should always run in its own separate subnet.

Can you confirm that routing is configured properly between the Management and the VM network, so that the ESXi host can reach vCenter (which I assume is running on the VM network) and vice versa?

Hi,

This configuration is OK. All three VMkernels are in the same subnet right?

There is no problem if they are in different range.

Are you using Distributed Switch or Standard Switch?
