Ken,

I ran some tests in my lab. Your configuration looks correct; however I think your ethernet connections might be the issue. In my lab the M port on the UCSE server is connected to the switch. This connection keeps the BMC data separate and bypasses the router so that no cpu cycles are utlized on it for BMC processing. The default-gateway as you specified as 192.168.1.254 would be a router interface that is also connected to the switch as well.

My interface configuration looks like:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address 192.168.1.60 255.255.255.0
duplex auto
speed auto
no cdp enable

interface ucse2/0
ip address 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly in
imc ip address 192.168.1.61 255.255.255.0 default-gateway 192.168.1.60
imc access-port dedicated

Please let me know if the wiring changes fix the issue. If this configuration doesn't suit your needs, please provide details of what you are trying to do.

Thanks,

Brett

Ken,

Just to clarify. Do you have your ESXi default-gateway set to 192.168.5.254 ?

Ken,

I've got vmnic0 set to IP 192.168.3.5. I've got my VM as 192.168.3.10. The VM resides with vmnic0.

Reboot the router made the ESXi config now work as well. Everything is back to the old mode. So I can restart testing tomorrow morning.
