Application Virtual Edge AVE not working

[RobvdL]

Hi,

I've managed to deploy an AVE on an ESX host. Also I've configured the VMM domain and I see no errors. All VMM / Access policy's seems to be ok. The ESX host is directly connected to 2 ACI leafs, and is configured with a VPC profile with MAC pinning on.

CDP is on and I've disabled LLDP.

Now I've created an AP, with two EPG's and I've linked with the VMM domain.

In vCenter I can see that the portgroups are created with private vlans from the vlan pool.

The VM's can't ping the gw's configured on the bridge domains. 

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi Rob,

I would verify that the VPC is up and that it has the correct vlans programes.

Also, how many interfaces does your ESXi has? If it has more than the number of uplinks used to connect to the ACI leave node, I would check to see that the correct ones are being used to send traffic to ACI.

is this ESXi host a standalone server or is it part of a blade chassis?

Hi Manuel,

The VPC is up,

The ESXi has 2 connections, one to each leaf.

Also I used the correct uplinks..

In the meantime I've got a succesful setup! :)

For some reason my existing Tenant is causing the problem.

After I created a new Tenant AVE, with vrf VRF001, with BD web-db and subnet 1.1.1.1/24, AP AVE, EPG web. The VM's started working. 

I've checked the two Tenants side by side. I see nothing strange..

Same settings on VRF, BD,AP,EPG..
