I recently upgraded from ESXi 5.0 to 5.1. Before the upgrade, both NICs were working fine. After the upgrade, I changed the configuration for the second NIC, and now I cannot get any connectivity through it. I don't know if the NIC was working after the upgrade, before the configuration change. I do know that it was working before the upgrade.
I wish to use the ethernet port to connect to a set of VMs I have added to the vSwitch from another physical computer. One of the VMs on the vSwitch is a router set to give out DHCP. When I connect the physical computer to the ethernet port, it cannot receive DHCP (other VMs on the vSwitch can get a DHCP from the router VM). When I set it to use a static IP in the same subnet, the physical computer cannot ping any of the VMs and vice-versa.
I also tried to change the Promiscuous Mode from Reject to Accept. It didn't fix the problem either.
I've attached some pictures of my configuration. Thanks.
