UNSOLVED
eth2 not starting with default Virtual Network Settings in VMWare
eth2 does not come up during Simulator boot. by default eth2 is mapped to VMnet2 that is not bridged and not connected to any virtual adapter. Even if changed and mapped to an existing adapter eth2 does not come up unless remapped to a NAT or host only adapter. But it also does not come up with an IP address. Keeps coming up "Broadcast Multicast"
- I have the same problem... Boot process says it brought eth2 online, but ifconfig does not show a inet address.... I tried to ping my router and it failed and reported my ip as 192.168.1.100.
I tried adding a "default route" to my router and the pings started working... Celerra Manager is still not reachable though.
I am running:
Host - Vista 32bit
Mem - 4gb
Storage - 400gb+
Guest - Simulator 5.5.29.1 - Hello All,
eth2 is the host only interface and so is designed to talk directly between the host OS and the Simulator (however, I think it can be configured like any other interface, but this is not a supported configuration). Normally, this interface is configured with dhcp. Vmware Workstation or Player has a dhcp server that will assign an IP address when it is configured.
Configure it with the netconfig command, setting it for dhcp. After that is done, run the command, 'ifup eth2' to bring it up. The Vmware dhcp server should assign it a private 192.168.x.x address. This interface will then be available on boot up (check and make sure the address didn't change.
I hope this helps,
Jim - hi jimg,
i have tried your solution it worked for me and it gives me the ip address for thre eth2. but the problem was that after the login page of the celerra manager, it gives me "Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or
misconfiguration and was unable to complete your
request."
i have tried to refresh but same thing.
please advice
best regards
