Hi guys! Im unable to add a host in SDM. the host that i want to add is the one I used in kickstart, I already install the AVP in s8300 and I can't add the host using the IP of AVP in s8300 but I am able to add a host using the services IP which is 192.168.13.6.

Can u guys help me on how to add the host that I installed in s8300 AVP?
 
are you doing it from the services port on the s8300?

I know that there's 2 IPs on the Utility server's NIC, of which 1 is 192.11.13.6 and the other gets to VMware and VMware has that kinda bridged out to the services port.

So, to hit Utility on 192.11.13.6, you're going into VMware's physical nic and routing through VMware to the US VM.
Look at the kickstart file and you'll see the funky network config in there.

So, perhaps without forwarding or routing of some kind enabled in AVP, you couldn't hit the corp IP via the services port, but that's just a guess.
 
u mean i need to connect the cable in the services of g450 not on the services of s8300?
 
just a clarification. the s8300 services port IP is: 192.168.13.6 while on the g450 itself services port is: 192.11.13.6
 
I spent a boatload of time debugging alarming from AVP-->US-->SAL on 7.1.0

My tickets eventually got towards this PSN:

From my notes...

From the kickstart:
esxcli network ip route ipv4 add --gateway 192.168.13.1 --network 192.11.13.4/30
esxcli system syslog config set --loghost=udp://192.168.13.1

and a ifconfig on US shows that it has eth1 and a subinterface eth1.1
eth1 has IP 192.11.13.6 and eth1.1 has 192.168.13.1

Why they did routing from VMware to US that way, I have no idea.

So, I reckon that when you have corp subnet 10.10.10.0/24 and AVP is 10.10.10.10 and US 10.10.10.11 on the vswitch to the backplane NIC of the G450, you've still got the services port with some voodoo routing going on.
