I may tinker with this because it may resolve several issues, not just ESXi v6.5 NIC blacklist issue. This is a beginner mistake, but this article is for Hyper-V admins that may not know the subtle nuances between VMWare I like the idea of hardware pass-through on the NIC. ESXi doesn’t like split vhdk’s, guest won’t boot. My Symantec Endpoint Client would occasionally block traffic coming from my local NIC (vSphere Client/vSphere Converter) to this nested Host (Windows Firewall did NOT seem to care), but SEP occasionally tripped cause all “suspicious” addressing to the nested Use vSphere converter for guest images coming from other VMWare products….duh. When this happens I found you could “down/up” the management vnicX to get it back, but just set the setting not worry about Network threat detection doesn’t like nested virtual switches either. Now I think this has to due with the nature of nested virtual switches (a VMWare vSwitch insude of a Hyper-V Virtual Switch). While the host network will operate for a while without problem, the “promiscuous mode” policy will eventually be tripped and you wont be able to talk to the host at random times (I originally thought it was stability issues with the Tulip driver). Apparently this was a known issue even in nested ESXi 5.5. Since all VM’s will be running nested (whole point of article) this is a must if you want them to start! The alternative is adding this line to every VMX file for each guest, Toms solution was much more Configure ESXi Management vSwitch “accept” “promiscuous mode”. You could wade through all 256 comments and assemble the corrections yourself, but user has helpfully done this for me! So I’ve included the summary Watson: Adding a line to /etc/vmware/config with vmx.allowNested = “TRUE” This article has had a lot more attention than I ever expected! This has bought to light several issues with the process as well as changes made to Hyper-V and ESXi that break the process.
