Hi there,
First, here's my current setup for reference:
I have an all-in-one ESXi machine with the following VMs: Windows, Ubuntu, FreeNAS (using PCIE passthrough, don't worry).
Each VM has two NICs attached to it. One is on the 192.168.1.xx subnet (my main network) and one is on the 172.16.0.xx subnet (which I'm trying to configure).
IPs for the machines are as follows:
Windows: 172.16.0.15/24
Ubuntu: 172.16.0.12/24
FreeNAS: 172.16.0.10/24
All of these machines are using the VMXNet3 adapter.
My issue is that while I can communicate with ease on the first subnet (192.168.1.xx), I cannot get any communication between FreeNAS and any other machine on the second subnet (172.16.0.xx) to work. I can freely ping between the Windows and Ubuntu machines with no issues, but while FreeNAS can self ping on it's 172.16.0.10 IP just fine, it both cannot ping other machines on the subnet, and other machines cannot ping it. From what I can tell from Googling, FreeNAS itself doesn't have firewall rules to contend with (although these are threads from 2014 stating this), so I don't think it's a firewall issue. Here is my ESXi configuration, and here is my FreeNAS config. I'm not really a networking guy, I've been learning as I go along, so maybe there's something obvious here I'm missing. Can anyone help me figure out why the FreeNAS machine won't talk with anyone else on the second subnet?
