Please,
I can't put to work my Openvpn ESXi bridge to work.
Could someone show me it's ifconfig output, so I could figure what is wrong in my config ?
Or could someone help me ?
I'm developer public school teacher, not network specialist. But I need this bridge to make some tests.
I installed Openvpn Access Serveur Virtual Appliance in my ESXi box.
Then my
/etc/network/interfaces :
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 200.53.114.43
netmask 255.255.255.240
gateway 200.53.114.33
#Private Network
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 172.1.50.9
netmask 255.255.255.240
# gateway x.x.x.x
My ESXi Openvpn : public IP : 200.53.114.43, and LAN : 172.1.50.9.
I put
VPN mode to :
Layer 2, but no
Bridge Name to
Join (it says it's optional).
I need to bridge from home to LAN 172.1.50.0 network, so I put in
Advanced VPN -> Server Config Directive the line :
ifconfig-pool 172.1.50.12 172.1.50.12 255.255.255.240
When I connect from home, I get the ip : 172.1.50.12, and the right route print entry, but I can't ping Openvpn ESXi bridge LAN ip (eth1) 172.1.50.9, neither ips from LAN computers.
In my Openvpn ESXi bridge, the
ifconfig give me :

Is it normal that
asbr0 get ip 200.53.114.43 ?
If I keep mode to : Layer 2, but put
Bridge Name asbr0,
ifconfig give me :

But it's the same, from home I get 172.1.50.12 but can't ping 172.1.50.x nodes.
I spent some days without success. I suppose I don't have all the knowledge to fully understand the problem.
I'm teacher for public school and need this bridge for my students to learn some programing...
Please if someone can help.
Thanks a lot.
