Celerra Simulator (uber) networking issue...
I have a brand new install of the Celerra simulator version 2 uber edition. I am running it on ESX 4. I have powered it up and ran through the initial configuration script. I am able to log into the control station.
My configuration:
Network adapter 1 assigned to vlan 80 in ESX which is eth0 (verified via mac) in the control station and cge0 (verified in pci.cfg) in the simulator.
Network adapter 2 assigned to vlan 30 in ESX which is eth1 (verified via mac) in the control station and cge1 (verified in pci.cfg) in the simulator.
I run netconfig -d eth1 and assign the static address to eth1. I down and up eth1. After that I lose connection to eth0. As soon as I re-down eth1 eth0 comes back up.
What am I missing here?

Thanks for the response. Now you have me intrigued and confused. From my investigation it appears that eth0 is network adapter 1 on my esx guest. I can confirm this in two ways. First, the uber initialization script sets eth0 to the IP I have for the control station. Second, if I disable the network adapter on the guest I can no longer ping.

Hi,
The NIC's eth0 and eth1are used as Internal NIC's and are set to autonegotiate. The eth3 is the NIC used to manage control station. I am not understanding the reason for using them and configuring Vlan on those.
cge devices are the Data Mover ports used for actual networking by creating interfaces.
