Hi all,
I've just launched a Debian 12 VM in VMware (ESXi 7.0.2) and installed
apache2 / php / postgres stack on it + ssh access.
Generally we have 3 subnets (IPv4 only):
- 192.168.4.0/22 (Ethernet LAN) - which starts with 192.168.4.1 and ends
with 192.168.7.254
- 10.10.10.0/24 (VPN1)
- 10.10.20.0/24 (VPN2)
The new VM runs at 192.168.4.12
I'm having a weird issue with accessing it:
DNS resolves fine.
I can ping and arp it from all addresses.
There is nothing is switches' config to restrict traffic.
I can access TCP services (22, 443) from 192.168.4.x, 10.10.10.x and
10.10.20.x but not from 192.168.5.x (a subset of Ethernet LAN).
I have no active 192.168.6.x or 192.168.7.x hosts to test from.
I've done nothing special during OS installation and config.
There is no local iptables running on the VM.
I've run tcpdump on the VM and connections from all 192.168.5.x hosts
are rejected with R (reset) flag.
It looks like some OS default or some kind of silent auto-ban causing it.
Access rejection only affects TCP services, ICMP - ping go through fine.
I've deployed probably a hundred of various machines in this environment
but never had this kind of access issue before.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Adam
