Hello everybody.
I am following the step by step guide of the official VMWare ICM 6.0.
I am completely stuck on "Lab 7: Using Standard Switches", task 3 "Assigning VM a new port group".
It has to be said that I am following the guide with the desktop client (not the web).
Task 2 tells me to create a new standard vswitch with a new Port group named "Produccion" (See "Screenshot_1.jpg" attached). Ok so far.
Task 3 tells me to assign that port group to the XP client on the first ESX. (See "Screenshot_2.jpg" attached).
Then I have to turn on the VM and do a ipconfig /release followed by an ipconfig /renew command. The IP that I get can be seen on "Screenshot_3.jpg" attached.
Then I have to ping my vCenter, with no success.
¿Why that IP configuration? ¿Why is there no gateway? ¿How can I configure the "Produccion" network so I can see my vCenter (192.168.1.50)?
¿why the IP ranges of vmnic0 and vmnic1 are such (See "Screenshot_4.jpg" and "Screenshot_5.jpg" attached)?
Thanks in advance!
