Hello All,
I am trying to setup my home ESXi lab.
I m using Intel Core i7 processor with 32 GB RAM. One inbuilt NIC and one external NIC installed in PCI slot.
I have installed ESXi 5.1.0 build 79733. Now when i am trying to connect Via LAN to get started with Vsphere client i found that i am having some issue with NIC itself.
I am using Cisco switch and the interface connected to ESXi server port is configured as Trunk. On ESXI server first i tried assigning VLAN but removed the VLAN id but still facing issues.
While checking the Network adapter configuration wizard under "configure management network" i found that the vmnic0 status is always disconnected. I tried disabling the NIC and rebooted the server as well but no luck.
Need some suggestions and help to resolve this ASAP and start my lab work.
Thanks in advance !!!
