Hi,

You don't require Contract for host in same EPG, Have you checked right Port group mapping done at VM level w.r.t EPG bindings.

for Inter EPG You need contract specifying allowing both the subnets and check about the Port group mapping at VMware level for these hosts.

Hope it Helps..

Thanks Ganesh,

I double checked the port groups. from VM host I can ping the gateway defind in BD / EPG and even the other gateway ip address of second EPG.

example : 10.253.20.10 can ping 10.253.20.1 in EPG 20 and 10.253.30.1 in EPG 30 but , it cannot ping 10.253.20.11 in EPG 20.

While troubleshooting , i get ingress forwarding drop packet error. i do not know if i am missing some config , but doesnot seems like.

Hi ,

Ingress forwarding drop packet can be due to bug CSCut65721.

Have a study on the bug details for more clarity and solution.

Hope it Helps..
