Hi all,
I'm fairly new to blade chassis/networking and have been tasked with setting up a M1000e with 12 blades with 4 mxl fabric switches splitting 4 VLANs across 2 VLT pairs (management & production in A2 & B1 / iSCSI & vMotion in A1 & B2). There's a port channel from fabric A2 & B1 to a TOR N4032 (which will be VLT paired as our new core network).
So far i have the management and production switches configured and i've got one blade server installed in slot 1 (m620). I see te 0/1 as up and on the default vlan (untagged) and both production and management (tagged).
Port Description Status Speed Duplex Vlan
Te 0/1 Up 10000 Mbit Full 1,405,410
Slot 1 has ESXi installed on it and if i run a ring test i get no responses from anything on the management or production VLANs.
If i check the mac address table on fabric B1 all i see is port channel (101) with no reference to the MAC address at te 0/1.

I'm at a loss with why this would be. Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks
