Hi @aliabd10 ,
Ctrl+c is the correct key combination, and if it is not working then you may have to start a ssh session to the actual APIC that is giving you the problem, find the process that is doing the ping and kill it (just like you'd do for any linux terminal)
mypc> ssh admin@apic1.your.apic.dns Housley Fabric#2 ACI Lab admin@apic1.your.apic.dns's password: Last login: 2023-08-18T07:07:54.000+10:00 UTC apic1# bash admin@apic1:~> ps -ax | grep ping 21536 pts/1 S+ 0:00 ping 10.0.184.64 23212 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep ping 26318 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/python /mgmt/support/insieme/checks/ping_check.py admin@apic1:~> kill 21536
I also notice that you seem to have a VMRC window open - is this a VAPIC? If so, you could also try bringing up the virtual keyboard and enter Ctrl+c from there.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for the mentioned workaround.
I have a APIC Simulator installed in our lab, the issue is the apic cannot reach the gateway.
I cannot stop the ping , the only way to end this is to restart the apic simulator, it this a bug or am i doing something wrong?
Appreciate all inputs.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi @guviswan ,
If you are using the APIC simulator and can't ping the gateway, you'll probably need to rebuild the Simulator anyway. Be sure (when you answer all the ACI setup questions) to change NOTHING except the OOB management IP address and default gateway - don't try a different VLAN or anything else.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
I have re-installed the simulator 3 times now, maybe the version i'm using 5.3.1d has issues, no clue.
I for some reason was not able to ping the gateway no matter what, I have UCS C220 M5Sx in my lab.
I will try to use 6.0.2h and see how it goes.
P.s the vSwitch settings
Promiscuous mode
MAC address changes
Forged transmits

Hi @guviswan (Viswanath),
For the vSwitch settings, make sure Promiscuous Mode is Accept and Forged Transmits is also Accept, MAC address changes shouldn't be a problem AFAIK
I have only briefly looked at v6 Simulator - I don't remember having a problem getting it installed. But I admit, I usually try and give it a little more RAM than required.

Hello Chris,
Finally after spending couple of hours, I was able to bring the ACI simulator up.
I used 6.0.2h image and it worked perfectly. Not sure why the 5.3.1d image did not work.
P.S I was unable to break the ping, had to kill the process. Will try to find a permanent solution and update here when I can.
Thanks for all the help!
Regards,
Viswanath

@guviswan I am having C240-M4S2 UCS on which I am running ESXI-6.0.0. I tried the same image 5.3.1d and encountered this issue,now as per your comment I tried 6.0.2h as per your comment. But still I am not able to ping the default gateway.
When I looked into my VMsummary , I am not seeing the correct Ip address which I gave,but a different one.
Any clue on were I am missing something..?
