ESXi VM-100 11.1.4.-h7 Interfaces won't Come Up

L1 Bithead

I have deployed and (eval) licensed three VM-100 w/ PAN-OS 11.1.4.-h7 on three different ESXi 8.0 servers in my lab environment. Unfortunately, I cannot get any of the VM's ethernet interfaces to come up.  I have no issues with the management interfaces via ssh or https.  All the ethernet interfaces are configured as layer 3 and are each part of a vSwitch/port group that another VM's virtual NICs are also part of.  Using the exact same configuration, but with a PAN-OS 10.0.3 image has no issues and the ethernet interfaces come right up.

vmxnet3.serialNumberV2 = FALSE

Hi @D.Wilk ,

 

What network adapter type did you set your data interfaces to ?
