Hi,
I have nested ESXi 6.5 VM and Linux VM deployed. Both have identical network configuration - Linux VM is absolutely fine to access through network, but unable to access the nested ESXi
Ping to the nested ESXi VM shows non-contiguous "icmp_seq" numbers(9, 62, 113 and so on ) and delayed responses between each ping response.
Can anyone suggest what could be the potential cause here.
'Promiscuous mode' and 'Forget Transmits' are enabled for vSwitch on physical host.
