Unable to set default gateway: An error occurred while communicating with the remote host
Details
Attempting to change the default gateway through VirtualCenter Server fails with the following error message:
Unable to set default gateway: An error occurred while communicating with the remote host.
Solution
A work-around is to access to the console either physically or via a KVM (DRAC, ILO) and change the gateway via the command line. For more information, see
Changing the IP address, default gateway and hostname of the Service Console in ESX Server 3.x (4309499)
