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 ....

Thank you!
It works now!

Here are the vSwitch Setting for ESXi that worked the Security Settings of that vSwitch and the Lab Setting I'm happy now!

Thanks you all for this cool project!!
