Hi Michal,

 

hope your school project is still alive and you didn't abandon it, because you didn't get an answer here for 8 days. Did you configure Self IPs on the subnet?

 

Your config in VMware looks correct. In order for the F5 to communicate with the server you will have to configure a Self IP address in the INTERNAL VLAN.

Take a look at this manual chapter.

 

If you get stuck, get back to me. I guess we can have a shared screen and I can help you.
