About a month ago, my boss tasked me with getting an OS on a Poweredge. I ended up using ESXi 6.0. From there, I installed 4 VM's. They've all been running great. One of them acts as a DHCP, one has POV and SQL collecting data. Everything has been groovy.
As of 2 days ago, I lost all connection via the switch I'm connected to, that then connects to the server. Vmware Workstation and Vsphere alike both time out when trying to connect. When directly plugged into the server I can connect with no hassle. The switch shows that there the connection is coming through from the server, but my connection to it doesn't allow me to sign in.
I have meticulously gone over every setting I can think of on the ESXi, the dell server, and the PC I'm using to connect. Everything should be peachy keen but alas this isn't the case. I have been intermittently able to ping the server. The switch just got updated and factory reset. I think we can rule that out as the issue.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I just cannot seem to figure this out.
