Big-IP VE with a single interface, for Navisite

Chris,

You cannot, through any means I'm aware of, use eth0 as a TMM interface I'm afraid. Even if you somehow came up with some sort of genius hack the performance would be extremely poor as you'd be running all the traffic in through the HMS (the Linux OS that provides management), then into TMM and back out again. Not an optimal path.

I appreciate it all looks like 'normal' Linux but the HMS and TMM are two very different things and you won't get anywhere thinking you can 'do something' in Linux; TMM is in charge as it were.

The system loads the interface list on start-up and indeed stores information (such as MAC addresses) in the bigip_base.conf file.

Unless you can get a second vNIC from the hosting provider I guess Netscaler it will have to be.
