Hi All,
I have one physical host on which i have installed ESXi 6.5, that have 2 physical NIC's and all nested servers are on single NIC which is connected to simple switch which have connectivity to ISP router.
I have built NSX nested lab and able to connect all logical switch vm with each other through DLR and also upto Edge uplink interface but when i am trying to ping google or any other ip address its not pinging.
Need help, is there any NAT is required or any other setting.
Hi,
A route is normally not enough for natting. Depening on your router brand you most likely need to enable nat somewhere.
You only route 10.1.0.0/24 now. But you have subnets in 10.1.10.0/24. Better to user 10.1.0.0/16
Hi,
- Can you ping google from the edge gateway ?
- Where do you normaly do natting ? on the isp router ? When this is a home lab, i assume you have a dsl/cable provider being the 'isp-router'
Assuming isp being cable/dls
- you need to add 10.1.x.x to the natting on the isp router.
- you need to add a route on the isp router for 10.1.x.x with the next hop being the edge
OR
- you need to add 10.1.x.x to the edge with natting.
- then you do not need aditional routing.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply, attach is the route from my DLR/EDGE. I am able to ping google from edge gateway but not from DLR below are the route that i added on my ADSL modem.
Destination ip Mask Gateway Metric device use
10.1.0.0 24 192.168.1.240 2 enet0 0
Still i am not able to ping google from logical switch vm's, I don't have much knowledge about routing can you please suggest.
Thanks,
Anuj
Did you add natting for 10.1.x.x ?
Or on you dsl modem
Or on the edge ?

Wonderful Chris, it worked and i am able to ping 8.8.8.8 from my logical switch vm's, thanks for the help..!!!
I have changed mask from 24 to 16 and it worked on my ADSL modem/router.
Thanks,
