"Default Drop" of HTTPS packets on internal connection

Hi guys,

Here's another one from my workshop [;)]

I have an ASG v8 as a virtual appliance (192.168.98.254) on a ESXi host (192.168.98.1).

I can not connect to the ESXi host with VMware vSphere Client from another internal PC (192.168.98.11).

Here's a Packet Filter log:

However, on a very rare occasion I do manage to connect just to be disconnected a couple of minutes later.

I have another ESXi host on the same network (192.168.98.2) which is working just fine...

What should I check?

Thanks in advance,

Miro

  • You know, I just don't know enough about VMWare, but it seems like your issue must be related to how you have IPs and routes configured in it.  It's just not normal that traffic between two "devices" in the same subnet would transit the Astaro.
