ESXi | Connect Lab to Internet [SOLVED]

Post by ping » Sat Sep 23, 2017 8:30 am

Hi there,

I'm struggling to connect my Lab to the Internet with ESXi.

Additional Info: My Box running ESXi only has one physical NIC.


It is the first time I did setup ESXi. I'm used to VM Workstation.
In VMware Workstation, I could configure a vNIC in "bridged mode" or "NAT mode" to connect directly to my home network (192.168.0.0/24).
In ESXi I don't see this option.

How to you solve this?
A dedicated VM for NATing?
Or is a "briged mode" also somehow possible in ESXi?

I did setup a 2nd vNIC for the EVE-NG VM, see here:

Maybe one of you has a hint, where to look further?
Do I need to configure the pnet1 Interface?

Thank you all!
Joe

Make sure you enable all 3 things in the settings where promiscuous mode setting are for the network.

Please also read/search the forum before posing - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1058&p=4108&hilit=esx#p4108

Take care to put network of ESXi in promiscious mode.

This permit nodes into eve-ng to communicate with outside. Without promiscious only Mac address from EVE-NG is learned bey esxi vswitch ....
