Cloud / Pnet NICs out of Sync
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2020 2:26 am
All,
Love EVE. Currently experiencing an issue where the cloud/pnet networks seem out of sync. I spent hours troubleshooting my router, switches & trunk links, firewall policies, vSphere vSwitches, etc. Through trial and error I discovered the issue is isolated to EVE - if I connect a separate VM to the same cloud0 or pnet1 networks for MGMT / internet, I am able to ping / access internet no problem. I am running within vSphere, so this eliminates VLAN tagging, vSwitch, trunk issues, etc. I have two main cloud networks - mgmt and DMZ. When I only have these two - pnet0 and pnet1, everything works great. Once I add the other pnet networks to connect to various VMs, that's when things go haywire.
The main two in question are tied to specific VLANs within vSphere and connect to my home network. All other pnet adapters are not connected to any physical NIC - just to switch ports within the EVE lab. They are set to all VLANs (4095 in vSwitch settings). Everything is promiscuous mode. I followed the cookbook to set this up, and it did work for some time! I'm not sure how it got corrupted.
Hopefully the gist of this makes sense. Wondering if there's any info about this out there about this. Now that I understand how to get to a functional state, I am going to tinker with potentially re-creating the EVE VM or messing with the vSwitches / pnets. Thanks.
