Issue fixed, changed NIC type to e1000 🙂

Never knew that was an issue for web smart console lol

Andy

Sounds very random. What was the NIC type beforehand?

e1000 is EOL, won't be supported on the upcoming version.

Hey Amir,

Before change, it was vmxnet3

Andy

[the_rock]

Im going to try tomorrow with some other VMs to see if this works.

Andy

[Amir_Senn]

vmxnet3 is the default for most of my lab and it works. This is probably circumstantial.

[the_rock]

Could be...tried different ones, no issues.

Hey @Amir_Senn 

Just flipped NIC type to vmxnet3 and google chrome opens both smartview and web smartconsole, no issues,but fails on Edge and Mozilla, not sure why, but could be just circumstential, as you said. 

Andy

[Amir_Senn]

That might not be circumstantial. I meant the driver, because while changing the driver you probably turned off machine. Different browsers doesn't change the server side so everything should stay the same on that part.

[the_rock]

Correct....steps I did:

-turned off eve-ng machine

-edited the settings, changed nic from e1000 to vmxnet3

-saved and started the machine

Tested smartview and web smartconsole, works in chrome and opera browsers, fails in edge, mozilla and brave, while web UI works fine on all

K, figured it out. Had nothing to do with R82 actually or nic type, it was just that for browsers where it did not work, just had to allow all content for the site, since when I would try https://172.16.10.252/smartview, it would redirect to http.

Makes more sense. Glad you worked things out.

Me too! 🙂
