EVE NG Adapters issue in ESXi V7.0
Hello EVE NG Community,
I have faced an issue with EVE NG deployed as VM in ESXi 7.0, All VMs inside ESXi can ping the internet except the EVE NG. I have tried couple of solutions to solve the issue none of the solutions I used worked well.
The Port Groups in ESXi are VM network which is the management port and ISP internet Port Group for internet traffic. EVE NG can not the ping the internet only if the management IP is from ISP internet Port Group.
Is there any possible way to solve this issue, to solve it by console through CLI and another issue comes up which is I cannot scroll up in the console if I typed the command ifconfig to see the adapters?
Or is it compatibility issue for EVE NG due ESXi V7.0, should be ESXi V6.0 to work effectively?
I have attached the topology for the network configuration for your reference.

Re: EVE NG Adapters issue in ESXi V7.0
Thats correct, EVE is communicating with internet also for EVE management is port1 only (pnet0)
port2 can be used for labs access to internet or to other VMs
Set your management and internet to 192.168.3.0/network
Also ping 8.8.8.8 is not all what you need, eve must work with internet in DNS level too.
ping www.eve-ng.net
must be success
Attaching working design for esxi setup

Re: EVE NG Adapters issue in ESXi V7.0
Thank you so much!
So, as you mentioned I need to change management even in ESXi to 192.168.3.0/24 subnet as well, because I need to be able to access the GUI of EVE NG in web browser. In addition, I saw the diagram you attached in the post, it's clearly to change the configuration of the management. Regarding the DDNS, I will not be able to perform it such as "NoIP " because of CGNAT preventing me to use the public IP of ISP.

Change to 10.x.x.x subnet don't use 172.16.x.x, in order to change IP Mask and the rest use this commands
rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured
su -
rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured

Re: EVE NG Adapters issue in ESXi V7.0
if I changed the management to 10.x.x.x subnet it will be different from ESXi management IP range which will prevent me from accessing the web interface of EVE NG, right?
another solution comes to my mind, can ESXi have port1 (192.168.3.5/24) and port2 (192.168.3.16/24) is it possible or will not allow it becasue of overlap issue?

Actually it won't overlap, you can do it, but you'd need 2nd adapter.

Re: EVE NG Adapters issue in ESXi V7.0
Thank you for your support!
I have tried to change to the subnet 10.0.0.10/24 for management it doesn't work.
Now is working when I set ESXi management IP port1 (192.168.3.10) and Internet port2 (192.168.3.25).
EVE NG has two adapters: ( Management and ISP Internet).
EVE NG IP (192.168.3.23/24) DHCP only, it did not accept static IP, can ping 8.8.8.8 internet!
However, I can not access the GUI from browser anymore.
