Configuring vShield Edge

[infusednz]

Hi Guys,

having issues configuring a vshield edge.

The vShield has

Public: 172.17.100.2 (vlan 2050 dswitch)

Private: 10.100.10.1 (vlan 1050 dswitch)

Gateway: 172.17.100.1

Inside the VM i can ping both the public and private, but not the gateway. Outside the vm I cannot ping the firewall.

I have created a fully open firewall rule for testing.

Nat is srcnat any translation to 172.17.100.2

Anything obviously wrong?

When you say "Gateway" that's the Gateway that's configured on your vShield Edge yes?  The Private VM's gateway is the private vse interface?
