Okay, I'm not a virtualization guy--but I know the basic concepts and I use VMware Workstation often. I'm a security/firewall/networking guy.
I'm implementing a new firewall for a client, and after a complete review of his existing architecture, on the go live date he springs on me "oh I have 4x virtual networks in a VMware Environment as well". No big deal, I had to create 4 virtual interfaces on the Firewall and allow the usual traffic to and from those networks.
The client can access every single virtual machine he has. He can not access the two physical machines/hyper-visors that hosts the machines.
Aka, I believe he's using VSphere client to connect to 10.10.x.x host and 10.10.y.y, and they are unresponsive to that.
My firewall is not dropping traffic via rules etc.
So if anyone has any quick hints of what to look to for, that would be greatly appreciated. I only have an hour maintenance window with him at night, so I have limited time to play around.
Thanks
