Low throughput on Esxi 6.0 update 3
-
Testing from what to what vmx3 to vmx3 over a vswitch?
if all your ports are 10ge, where and why would you have 1ge 4 port laggs?

That was a physical server with 4 nics.
Yes now I'm on a vmware vm with 1 vmxnet3 , no need for laggs.But now I have another problem!
I have defined two vlans and allowed any to any on both. I can ping clients from one vlan to another. but it's just ping!! nothing else works! like http, https, or even smb.
What could be wrong? is it a driver issue? I disabled hardware large receive offload but no luck -
Did you install the vmware tools, those got broken while back.. Just use the openvm tools package.
Without seeing your rules impossible to say what your problem is - maybe you "think" you allowed any any.. when all you allowed was icmp.. Maybe your host your trying to ping have host firewall - this is very common user error.
To be honest is freebsd 11 even on the supported 6.0 list - pretty sure 11.x not supported until 6.5

host firewall is completely off
and about the rules I'll attach a photoTo be honest is freebsd 11 even on the supported 6.0 list - pretty sure 11.x not supported until 6.5
so I have to upgrade esxi host?

"so I have to upgrade esxi host?"
You should of done that a long time ago… What reason are you running 6.0? 6.5 came out Nov 2016... Shoot even your update 3 is over a year old..
While I am not saying 11.x will not work on 6.5... I just do not see the reason that you would not update? Good luck calling for support to a company that doesn't list X on their compatibility list..
And while it might work just fine - if so why has the company not updated their list to say 11.x is supported on 6.0 update 3?
-
Yeah you should be running 6.5 but as johnpoz says it may work fine in 6.0.
If you are seeing ICMP work but not TCP it is often an asymmetric routing issue. Is there some other path between those VLANs?
It could also be packet size issue. Try pinging with much larger packets.
