I am new to nsx, trying to learn to prepare for cert test so this may be a somewhat newbie question to some. I have followed multiple guides online and spent a fair amount of time researching and troubleshooting before heading here for help......so I appreciate any help given.
My setup:
Internet <-> Edge Router Lite <-> Edge GW <-> DLR <-> Logical Switches <-> VM's
I followed this guide to the letter (except different ip's)
Intro to NSX - Distributed Logical Routing and Edge gateway with NAT — 4aero Blog
With this very basic setup (IMHO), I cannot ping anything from the VM's, not even their GW IP's of 10.1.10.1 and 10.1.20.1, etc
From my admin pc I can ping the Edge GW, DLR GW IP 10.1.100.1, etc but cannot ping VM IP's or their GW.
One point that has me scratching my head is I cannot ping the forwarding ip on the DLR of 10.1.100.2 from admin pc either (expected?)
All FW are setup to accept all traffic
I am really at a loss as to what to check next. I did research the DLR various interface types and ran the cli commands to see what was setup for interfaces and
I noticed the VDR interface which is supposed to be used for all LIF (logical switch) IP's does not show the IP's above (10.1.10.1/10.1.20.1) listed as documenation
describes should be the case. It only shows as being connected.
Here are the route tables:
EDGE GW:
DLR:
Any thoughts/suggestions of what to check next would be great.
Here is a simple diagram of what I setup:
