EVE-NG on ESXi 8.0.2 - FortiGate VM doesn't get IP via DHCP and even with static IP doesn't reach internet
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2025 11:37 pm
Hi everyone.
I searched in the forum for something in order to help me with this issue and I couldn't find anything.
DHCP Server - 192.168.15.1
ESXi - 192.168.15.185
EVE-NG (as a VM on ESXi) - 192.168.15.71
EVE-NG got its IP via DHCP.
I added a FortiGate VM in EVE-NG:
1) I let the default port1 configuration which is as a dhcp mode. It didn't received an IP.
I tried to do it with a connection to a network (Cloud0) and later with Cloud1. Nothing worked.
2) I set a static IP address (192.168.15.30) and did the same thing. Nothing...
I also tried to ping EVE-NG (192.168.15.71) and again, nothing...
In my EVE-NG ssh session I can ping internet (example: IP address 8.8.8.8). pnet0 has eth0, vlun1 and 2 associated with it and pnet1 has eth1.
In ESXi networking configs it seems everything is good.
What could be the problem in here? What am I missing? If someone could help me, I appreciate it!
Thank you!
