Issues with communication from host to eve-ng static IP

Hello all. I'm trying to get my network setup for some CCIE labs and i'm having a lot of trouble here with something. I have been following this: https://nickccieprogress.blogspot.com/2 ... e-atc.html

Basically, this guy is able to push all of the configs to his routers rather than re-ip one by one and setup the necessary configs manually, which saves a TON of time. Problem is, I'm using ESXi 6.0 for my O/S to install the eve-ng VM. The management NIC works fine. I'm able to get to the GUI no problem. That second interface though, I for the life of me, cannot get to work. My MAC has a vmnet1 IP of 172.16.55.1. Per the article, I setup pnet1 as 172.16.55.2. I cannot ping .1 from .2 or vice versa.

For the hell of it, I added another NIC to my windows VM and made that 172.16.55.3. I could ping WITHIN the ESXi environment, but can't ping out to my host.

Any ideas here? I've hit a wall at this point.

Thanks.

The correct cloud communication stuff is described in our cookbook.
Section 10

Iam pretty sure that some silly mistake is done or not dne only.

Per blog article this setup is for single MAC (Fusion) itercommunication happens inside of this host.
As you are saying that your EVE is on ESXi, then reasonable is use not Cloud1 but Cloud0, which you are uing for WEB UI access.
Any cloud interface in EVE can be used for such purpose.
As well you can talk to EVE experts in live helpdesk.
