Just because you’re running EVE-NG on VMware vSphere / ESXi this doesn’t make it a VMWARE problem. So please don’t tag it like this.
Anyway, isn’t this more or less the same question you’ve already asked in SFTP and SCP errors when trying to ping my cisco IOSv on Eve-NG? At least, it looks related… maybe I’m wrong, but if I’m right: Please don’t clutter the forum with opening several threads on the same issue
