Hi all,
So I am on VMWare ESXI 6.7 running a vm host. I set a static IP on the ESXI host of 192.168.1.254 (prior it had a 192.168.1.14 DHCP address) and it accepts it. When I go login via the web interface via 192.168.1.254 it works. However when I try to open a console to a VM (browser console) via the web interface I am unable to connect because the web interface is still using 192.168.1.14. I can tell its trying to do this because If I try to connect via VMRC, the VMRC app will time out trying to connect to 192.168.1.14. So something in the web interface is still using the old ip address of 192.168.1.14 for some reason. In the top right corner of the web interface after logging in it also says root@192.168.1.14 which is incorrect.
I tried many things:
Rebooting the ESXI host.
Clearing Cookies on my browser.
Rebooting my only VM.
None of this has worked, and I can tell that vmk0 has the correct ip 192.168.1.254 (static) assigned. This seems like a bug but how can this be fixed?
