I have a RB2011UiAS-RM ROS6.4 that shows strange issues when using a group of ports configured as a switch which then connects to VMware ESXi 4.1
ether3 is a WAN connection with ip .2/24 with .1 the next hop
ether4 has a server IMM at .11
ether5 has an ESX server with vmk (.
and guests (.10, .12)
The esx vmk is fine, but guests - tried Win7 and ROS 6.4, cannot connect past the Routerboard switch, i.e. cannot ping .1
It seems if multiple devices are on a port, after the first one they have issues.
There is a static route to the network past the gateway, but I can’t even get to the gateway.
There are no firewall rules.
Any ideas where to start ?
