I've built a vmhost (ESXI 7) to host the control's engineers W7 machines used to connect to the PLCs.
I'm using a Stratix 5700 to NAT the PLCs and PV from private to public. I had to enable IGMP pass-through on the NAT instance configuration to get the ping to work from the vm.
The PLCs are NATed into the same VLAN as the virtual machine.
From the VM I can ping the public NAT address of a PLC, but when I try to configure the ethernet/IP driver in RSlinx I can only see the PLC, and not drill down into the back plane.
I've disabled the firewall on the W7 machine, and disabled the FW on ESXI via command: esxcli network firewall set --enabled false
When I try to run diagnostic on the 1769-L30ER I get a "Diagnostic Status failed" error. The Driver Diagnostics shows 21 commands sent and 21 commands canceled
I think something is messed up with CIP and or Ethernet/IP communications.
Attached picture of telnet and ping.
Any ideas or suggestions on things to try to establish CIP communication from a VM?
Thank you.
