We signed up for ESXi 5 server in Hetzner.de
We have a problem in configuring the router-VM to enable us us additional subnet.
Hetzner has detailed WIKI with nice examples but is seems we do one little mistake along the way.
Web read carefully - http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/VMware_ESXi/en
Here are our details:
Main IP of ESXi - 176.9.151.46 - MAC address of main NIC - 6c:62:6d:b2:ac:60
We received additional IP to route all subnet IPs to this IP.
Additional IP details:
IP: 176.9.151.61
Gateway: 176.9.151.33
Maske: 255.255.255.224
MAC: 00:50:56:00:19:23
New subnet details:
IP: 78.46.235.64 /28
Mask: 255.255.255.240
Broadcast: 78.46.235.79
Useable IP addresses:
78.46.235.65 to 78.46.235.78
We have been told by Hetzner that they have routed subnet IPs to the additional IP - 176.9.151.61
First we created a newvSwitch (called "subnets")
Then we created a new Virtual Machine (we did try with Linux then with Windows 2003)
We prefer configuring the Router-VM on 2003.
We configured IP-Forward via Regedit
eth0 First Card configuration on Rourt-VM (eth0):
Connected to main vSwitch on physical NIC
First we configured MAC address to "Manual" - 00:50:56:00:19:23
TCP/IP configuration:
IP: 78.46.235.78
Mask: 255.255.255.240
Gateway: empty (we also tried all options - the additional IP, the server IP, The main server gateway)
Second card of Router-VM (eth1)
MAC address is on automatic
IP: 78.46.235.65
Mask: 255.255.255.240
Gateway:78.46.235.78
Here are the problems:
1. Router-VM itself is not connected outside.
2. we created a standard VM (Also 2003) connected to the new vSwitch - no connection outside.
Please help - where is our mistake ???
