Adding ESXi Hosts Via Natted IP and vCenter 6.5

Hey,

I'm having an issue at the moment adding ESXI hosts Via their Natted IP address to vCenter VCSA 6.5.

Previously I have successfully used this KB successfully  Using NAT between the vCenter Server system and ESXi/ESX hosts (1010652) | VMware KB for all previous version of vCenter.

The Server IP address in the vpxa.cfg file is correct and port 902 is open and telnet works

I have increased the config.vpxd.heartbeat.notRespondingTimeout via this KB

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10057...

Here is a tail of the vxpa agent log
