I need a bit of help here.

I'm coming from hyper-v. I wanted to try out ESXi so I loaded all of my four C6100 nodes with ESXi 5.5. All of C6100 are connected to a switch, and this switch is local only, additionally, I have my laptop connected to the switch as well. No internet here.

I've installed ESXi, and made my first VM, a windows 2012R2 with address of 192.168.0.205. Noticed something was wrong.

First node has 192.168.0.201 as mgmt IP. My laptop has 192.168.0.99, in the VM I can't get to laptop or the VM ping each to other, however I can ping to the root os, and other nodes. The VM can ping 192.168.0.201 as well 192.168.0.202 but cannot ping 192.168.0.99, my laptop can ping 201/202 but can't ping 205.

All of them has 255.255.255.0 subnet

Laptop: 192.168.0.99
Node0: 192.168.0.201
Node1: 192.168.0.202
VM00: 192.168.0.205

Does anyone have any suggestions?
 
As I explained, laptop can ping node0 node1 and opposite way but not the VM00.

The VM00 can ping node0 node1, as well other way around.

But when it comes to VM00 to laptop or laptop to VM00 it's no good.

He meant firewall on the VM AND on the laptop.
 
Most likely it's a firewall issue.

Vsphere has a firewall as well over in the hosts configuration tab.

Which firewall are you referring exactly to? The ESXi, VM00?

Additionally when I google vsphere firewall, they all refer to ESXi firewall, that's not gonna help me.
 
In the vSphere Web Client, select the host, Manage -> Settings -> Security Profile
Or if using the old vSphere Client, it's host -> Configuration -> Security Profile
 
Are you referring to the host, or the VM? because only place i see "settings" is in VM, where as for host, it's called configurations.
