  • 1.  vSRX not picking up an IP address

    Posted 02-15-2016 13:24

    Hi all

     

    I just downloaded vSRX and booted it up with my vmware workstation. But none of the interfaces are picking up any dhcp address. I set ge-0/0/0.0 to dhcp but during run mode I don't see an IP. When I start a ubuntu VM I see that it gets the IP from VMware workstation's dhcp server. 

     

    I am not sure what's missing. I have tried to put the interface in both NAT and Bridged on the workstation.

     

    This is a brand new config. So I haven't changed anything else besides the dhcp and root password. 

     

     


    #vmware
    #DHCP
    #Firefly

    hey it now works. I redid the VM and made sure the interface is on NAT and suddenly I have IP.
