Dear Community Support,
I have installed ESXI version 7.02 on one of my Dell 740 server. It has 8 Physical NIC on the back (vmnic0-vmnic7).
vmnic0 is working fine as it is connected to cisco switch (Firewall-->Switch)
I have a need to create a DMZ environment - hence I created a network between my cisco firewall 1120 (Physical Port 1/7 - 192.168.3.2) and vmnic1 (192.168.3.3). Note vmnic0 is assigned to Cisco Switch which provides the 10.0.0.0/24 network.
Issue - There is No ping between 192.168.3.2 and 192.168.3.3. There is physical network cable connected between them.
Both the NIC are functional in their own side. Cisco Firewall is sending ARP for 198.168.3.3 but there is no response.
I created following on VMware:
Port Group: VM Network 192, created vSwitch192 and VLAN ID 192, It displays MAC address and lights is green in Hypervisor. On Virtual Machines as well - both adapters "Network adapter 1" and "Network adapter 2" are displayed as connected. "ifconfig" also shows both adapters and mac addresses respectively. I have kept default settings in "VM Network 192" configurations - I tried changing some parameters but no luck.
On Cisco Firewall Interface 1/7 is assigned the IP address 192.168.3.2. As mentioned above I want to create a DMZ - so I need 2 network to communicate.
Can anyone suggest if I am doing anything fundamentally wrong or give any guidance?
Thank you
Harshal
