C220 M4 w/ VIC1225 and Nexus 5548

[williamton]

I have four UCS C220 M4 servers that each have a VIC 1225 and are connected up to a Nexus 5548.  I have set them to trunk ports and have set the appropriate VLANs in ESX and the portgroups.  I can ping the gateway and other hosts on the network, but for some reason I can't ping any of the other C220 M4 servers that have a VIC1225.  All of the C220's can ping other devices on the network, but not each other.  Is there some setting I need to modify on the VIC or switch?  Currently the VIC is running as Classical Ethernet mode.

There is no special configuration to make connectivity work in the rack servers, I assume these servers are in standalone mode and not integrated with UCSM.

What L3 device is doing your Inter-Vlan routing? Is it the N5K these servers are connected to or there is another device doing this job?   If it is the N5K, are all the servers in the same network segment? I mean, is there a single SVI or multiple?  can your Nexus 5K ping each of the servers?

Everything is connected to the 5K and should be on the same network segment.  There is just a single VLAN trunked to the port, but will have to check with the networking guy to make sure he can ping from the switch side.  Didn't think to check that since I could ping everything else on the network.
