I have multiple IP addresses on my host so I have two different firewalls running virtually to play with and as a backup, i'd like the other firewall/subnet to also be able to access the ESXI interface directly and not through a tunnel back to the primary firewall.
I created a new TCP/IP stack, added a vmkernel with a different VLAN and got that VLAN's ip address through the second firewall. I assigned management to this vmkernel but I am still unable to access its web interface. I can ping the ESXi interface on this secondary subnet of course.
Needless to say I have already played with the firewall but its default set to accept for any ip address and i've even disabled it for giggles but no go.
What am I missing?
