    Hi Ian, Don't know what happened but it started to work now. Yesterday when i did the ping from host to VE it was giving me request timed out and today i am able to ping and access the GUI as well. It might be some type of bug i don't know. But thanks for your support

Hi Ian, 

    I did tcpdump on my Primary console while i was doing ping from secondary. The output that I got is attached below. My primary mgmt ip is 172.16.1.100 and secondary mgmt ip address is 172.16.1.200. I can ping from console to the mgmt IP. 

    From the output it seems like both the mgmt ip are sending packets to each other. Also I ran the following command (tmsh list net arp all) to see the list of arp entries and I can see only HA VLAN entry in it which is 112.112.112.2.

Amanpreet, I am using host only mode for both devices. DHCP is disabled and I have configured static IP addresses.

What IP address have you configured on your host ? What does tcpdump see if you try to ping the host from the VE, or the VE from the host ?
