Big IP LTM trial version

Which is the latest stable version for virtual appliance to download?

11.3 was recently released and has the most current feature set. 11.2.1 is a good stable build if you don't need the latest features. I wouldn't bother testing 10.x if this is for a new potential deployment.

 

 

You can check the release notes for details:

Thanks,

 

 

Just to confirm , should we able to download and install only 10.1.0 appliance from F5 trial website?

 

 

I am able to download all the version but when i tried to install the License key for any version like 10.2.4,11.3.0 then it saying wrong key.

Yes, the trial key will only work with the 10.1.0 trial VE version.

one more Questions,

 

 

We installed the VE edition software on a vmware Hyperviser machine. server have currently two IP address range configured already.

 

 

so I used one IP for Virtual appliance management console and another IP for internal self IP. when I tried to add one more same IP address in that range for external then i got an error the IP address range is already configured for internal and you cannot use it again .so please select another IP range.

 

 

server has no more network interface and i cannot add any more IP range. so how can i fix this

 

 

is it mandatory to have external IP, can i use self ip only here. Please help me on this.

 

 

Regards

Two VLANs and related interfaces cannot share the same IP subnet. You do not need an external VLAN/IP but if just using one you'll need to ensure you have SNAT configured on each VS to ensure return traffic passes back through the BIG-IP.

Ok Thanks.

 

 

a) Right now 10.80.10.101 is the IP configured for management

 

b) 10.80.97.42 is the IP configured for internal ( self IP)

 

c) VIP is runnig on 10.80.97.44

 

d) my application server are running on 10.80.97.221 & 10.80.97.222

 

e) I didn't added external self IP.

 

 

can you please confirm the above IP configuration is fine.

 

 

Now you are saying for virtual server configuration I need to select SNAT-automap right?

 

Yes that will work as long as SNAT-automap is configured. There are other SNAT options but this is the simplest.

Ok thanks.

 

 

i got 11.3.0 trial license. let me install it using above configuration which i mentioned. i will come back if i faced any issue.

 

 

can you please let me know any other steps or additional configuration to be added along with those steps.

 

 

Great and please do post back if you get any issues. Any other steps will depend on your requirements and what you need to do.
