Routing table with ESXi and IP FailOver

[Nightmare]

Hi,

I installed FreeNas on a ESXi server with an IP FailOver like this tutorial : http://www.bouthors.fr/wiki/doku.php?id=linux:vmwarededibox:start

Host ESXi IP : 192.99.5.42 => Internet
IP FailOver : 198.100.157.200

After a successful installation, FreeNas show me my IP FailOver adress as :
You may try the following URLs to access the web user interface :

http://0.0.0.0 [em1] (Don't know what is it)
http://198.100.157.200 [em0] (The IP FailOver)

I did :

4) Configured Defaut Route

IPv4: 198.100.157.200 == IP FailOver
IPv6: Empty

5) Configure Static Routes :

Destination Network : 192.99.5.42
Gateway : 192.99.5.254
Description : Empty because it's Optional

6) Configure DNS :

DNS Domain : local
DNS Nameserver 1 : 8.8.8.8
DNS Nameserver 2: EMPTY
DNS Nameserver 3: EMPTY

Did something is wrong on my routes configuration ?

All my best,
Night

Hello Night,
On your VM configuration, you have decided to create two Virtual Interfaces for your FreeNAS.
This is why you are seeing two ip addresses for your management.
The http://0.0.0.0 is your interface without an IP address. You may configure it manually via the GUI
There is no concept of 'FailOver' similar to the tutorial, but you could bond the interfaces from the Networking -> Link Aggregation tab in the GUI
Additionally, I don't know if this will do you any good because the Link aggreggation is inside a single Host. You want to setup FailOver or Link aggregation from the Host to your network switch and not inside the VM.
If the object is to make the FreeNAS server available in two separate networks/vlans then, this design is good, but you'll have to setup the port-group properly on ESXi.

Your Static route also is a bit confusing? The destination is a host? - 198.100.122.213, and your gateway 198.100.122.1 will not be reachable as a static route because you don't have an interface in that subnet.

I suggest a couple of things for us to better assist you.
Tell us what you are trying to accomplish,
run ifconfig from the cli and also screenshots of your 'networking' tab from ESXi host.

Cheers!
Stallione.

Hi,

I updated the topic : It's not working !
I changed step 4) and 5) and now it's ok.
I just cannot see an disk to create a volume...

Thank you Stallion.

I'm moving this to offtopic since this isn't about FreeNAS but ESXi setup.
