This slide is from the lectures in the Virtualization Fundamentals Module

Given the Below Slide from those lectures:

The following is true:

There are two port groups shown: the VMNET port group, and the MGT port group.

Both Port Groups are assigned to vSwitch$0$

There are $4$ logical overlays: the VMware Workstation Overlay, and the ESXi Overlay, and the vSwitch Overlay, and the Port Group Overlay.

The topmost overlay $($the first$)$ is the of the Port Group Overlay which contains groups such as:

the LAN, VMNET and MGT Port Groups $($located within the vSwitch$0$ Overlay$)$

the OPT$1$ Port Group $($located within the vSwitch$1$ Overlay$)$

the OP$2$ Port Group $($located within the vSwitch$2$ Overlay$)$

the WAN Port Group $($located within the vSwitch$3$ Overlay$)$

The second overlay is the vSwitch Overlay, and is made up of vSwitches $0-3$

The third overlay is the ESXi Overlay

The fourth and final overlay is VMware Workstation.

There is one physical underlay with contains the following:

the Hypervistor Host $($your physical machine running workstation$)$

additional physical hosts,

and a SOHO router that is also a DHCP Server $($denoted by the "bull horn" icon$)$

There is only one broadcast domain at this moment, B$1,$ and it spans all overlays and the underlay $($see red dotted lines$).$

ESXi is currently in Bridge Mode

Also Given:

the SOHO Router LAN interface, the MS$2$ LAN Interface, and pfSense LAN Interface are all on broadcast domain $1$

these devices are all on the $10\mathrm{.}254\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0./24$ Network ID and Subnet

IP addresses are as follows:

SOHO Router LAN Interface: $10\mathrm{.}254\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}254$

pfSense LAN Interface:

Question:

The MS$2$ cannot ping the WinXP. Why is this the Case?

Review the pfSense Settings and Pings. Are there any issues with these settings that would cause the MS$2$ ping failure to the WinXP?

Review the XP Settings and Pings. Are there any issues with these settings that would cause the MS$2$ ping failure to the WinXP?
