I am new to harvester can someone help me understand why my VM is able to ping external network but from external i am not able to reach VM ip

I guess your VMs network interface connected to the “management Network”, which will have egress from the cluster via NAT. If that is the case, create a new “VM Network” - Vlan ID 1 is LAN the Harvester hosts are connected to - and switch your host onto that network.

Thank you Himsley this worked
