Access SDDC ESXi Hosts on HTTPS from HCX L2 Extended Network

Got HCI Bench and also a test VM in a HCX L2 Extended Network but both can only reach the SDDC VCSA on ICMP and HTTPS.

MON is enabled on the extended L2 networks and necessary firewall rules are in both outbound on Compute Gateway and Inbound on Management Gateway, any idea or known issue? (This is for HCI Bench as it needs to reach the ESXi Hosts on HTTPS as part of the validation)

Most likely you need to create rules that will allow the HCIBench VMs access to the ESXi hosts. This article explains the rules that need to be created:

The screenshots are a bit out of date but the rules still apply.

ended up deploying HCX in dedicated routed segment for both its interfaces and worked fine
