Issue/Introduction

Configured proxy for VCF 9.1 Management Service, but still failed to connect to dl.broadcom.com 

   curl -v -k https://dl.Broadcom.com -x  http://##.##.##.##:8080

    Trying   ##.##.##.##:8080...

Environment

VCF 9.1

Cause

The error message "Trying" means it is a physical network issue between the vmsp and the proxy server  ##.##.##.##:8080

Resolution

Verify the connectivity with commands:

 

    a) curl -v telnet://##.##.##.##:8080

    b) timeout 3 bash -c '</dev/tcp/##.##.##.##/8080' && echo "Port is OPEN" || echo "Port is CLOSED"

    expected to see output:

        Port is OPEN

 

Ensure the VMSP can connect to proxy server, if there is any firewall rules, work network team to tune the firewall rules.
