I am setting up an NLB cluster on the network and are experiencing the following issue.
This a 2 hosts cluster setup. Both servers are running Windows 2016. Each node has 2 NICs attached.
I enabled NLB on the first node and created the NLB cluster using unicast. The configuration was error free. However, once the cluster was configured (without adding the 2nd node to it yet), the node lost its network connection. I checked the IP configuration and did see that the cluster VIP is added to the NIC. The other issue is I didn't see the virtual MAC address (starts with 02:BF) assigned to the NIC. I can only see the original MAC for the NIC and NLB interfaces.
The status of the cluster is converged. No obvious error from NLB in event viewer.
I could not add the 2nd node to the cluster based on the issues above. Any idea?
Thanks
