I have installed IBM MDM CE v11.4 on linux (RHEL v7.2) Guest in VMWare workstation the Host OS is Windows 10.
I can access the MDM console on my guest at localhost:7507, or IP:7505
I would like to access this console from my Host Operating system, the VM is using NAT adapter for networking and the result of ifconfig is
ens33: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

from my host I can ping the IP at 192.168.124.131 but cannot access the console at 192.168.124.131:7507.
I have tried port forwarding but failed.
Please help me solve my problem. i am new to linux and networking..
Solved it. Actually the port 7507 on linux guest was closed, and using iptables to open it did not work, to Open a port on RHEL v7.2 run this command to open a port
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
then to restart
firewall-cmd --reload
Thats it now I can connect to my mdm server on guest from IE on my host machine.
