Please, i need your help. I have read all the posts from the internet, but i don't know what is wrong. i want to ping from PC10 (portgroup in Vlan 10 with ip 1.1.10.200, GW 1.1.10.2) to the int vlan 10 from the switch (ip 1.1.10.2) but it says Destination host unreacheable. I want to configure a topology with a Cisco L3 Switch with vlan routing between 2 VM's created inside an ESXi host.

TOPOLOGY WITH ESXI AND GNS3 enter image description here

So i have the following: - on my laptop i have installed VMWare Workstation - inside the workstation i created 2 VM's: one ESXI host and one GNS3 VM Server - on ESXI host i have created two VM's:
-----PC10 on portgroup V10 allocated to Vlan 10 with ip 1.1.10.200/24 GW 1.1.10.2 -----PC20 on portgroup V20 allocated to Vlan 20 with ip 1.1.20.200/24 GW 1.1.20.2 -----the management interface has the ip: 10.10.10.10

ESXI CONFIGURATION enter image description here

  • the switch is configured as a L3 SW: ----- the switch runs inside the GNS3 VM and it is a QEMU VIRL image ----- i have created vlan 10 and vlan 20 ----- int vlan 10 with ip 1.1.10.2 ----- int vlan 20 with ip 1.1.20.2 ----- int g0/0 (connected to ESXI host) is configured as a trunk

SWITCH CONFIGURATION

enter image description here

I want to mention that i have tested the connectivity between the switch and a PC inside the ESXI and it worked as follows: - Switch: int g0/0 (connects to ESXi host) --- no switchport --- ip addr 10.10.10.2/24 - ESXI host: mangement int - 10.10.10.10 GW 10.10.10.2 - PC inside ESXI: ip add 10.10.10.200 GW 10.10.10.2 (connected to VM Network) - no vlan configuration was done, neither inside the switch, nor inside ESXI.

I have just wanted to test connectivity between switch and PC inside ESXi, and after that to configure vlan. But it didn;t work.

  • You can't trunk VLANs outside of GNS3. you'll need to run your ESXI inside it.

  • K. Thank you! So how should i do this lab to make vlan routing work between an ESXi with VM's and a cisco router/switch?
