Nested Lab, issue installing ESXi + ESXis cannot ping each other

Hi there,

I have a server at home and I have started my Nested Lab. Previously I was able to install ESXi hosts inside the physical ESXi host, but currently, when I'm trying to install a new ESXi host I receive an error message as the attached picture. So, I had to export an OVF file from another physical ESXi host and then deploy it inside my home lab.

The other thing is that all deployed ESXi from the OVF are on the same network 192.168.1.0/24 but I have network issue as showing in the seconed picture, also the IPs as fllowing:

ESXi01 = 192.168.1.10

ESXi02 = 192.168.1.11

ESXi03 = 192.168.1.12

DC = 192.168.1.2

vCenter installed on ESXi01 = 192.168.1.5

Windows Router = 192.168.1.1

 

- ESXi01 can ping the Router + DC + vCenter as it is installed on it but cannot ping ESXi03

- ESXi02 can ping the Router + DC but cannot ping the vCenter and the ESXi01 + ESXi03

- ESXi03 can ping the Router + DC but cannot ping the vCenter and the ESXi01 + ESXi02

Thanks in advance,
