Cannot connect to BigIP set up UI.

 

Overall, it sounds like the network that the VE-Trial's Managment Port exists on isn't mapped to the networks that you're using.

 

 

1) First, DHCP. If the VE-trial is getting a 192.168.1.245 address, that means it's not getting a valid DHCP response from it's DHCP queries. So, either the DHCP server isn't functioning or the network interface for the management port of the VE-Trial isn't mapped to the appropriate network.

 

 

2) None of your Adapters are showing a 192.168.1.x address. VMnet8 is 192.168.80.0/24, VMnet1 is 192.168.202.0/24, Ethernet (bridged) is showing 129.185.72.0/23. This is the technical reason as to why you can't reach 192.168.1.245 from your workstation - the addressing doesn't line up.

 

 

3) You can setup the management port's IP address by using the config script (after you're logged into the VE-Trial's Console as root, run "config")

 

Alternatively, you can use these commands for TMSH:

 

 

tmsh create sys management-ip x.x.x.x/y

 

tmsh modify sys global-settings mgmt-dhcp disabled

 

tmsh create sys management-route default gateway z.z.z.z

 

tmsh save / sys config

 

 

WHERE:

 

x.x.x.x is the IP that you want to set the management port to

 

y is the subnet mask size in significant bits - some might call this the CIDR size. /24, etc.

 

z.z.z.z is the IP of the gateway - it probably resembles x.x.x.x

 

 

so, in example form for a VE-Trial with a bridged interface for the management network:

 

(Where, in theory, one would ping 139.185.72.172 before setting it, so as to make sure that that address is free before use - in addition to doing the usual checks through any IP subscription databases or spreadsheets)

 

 

tmsh create sys management-ip 139.185.72.172/23

 

tmsh modify sys global-settings mgmt-dhcp disabled

 

tmsh create sys management-route default gateway 139.185.72.1

 

tmsh save / sys config

 

 

 

 

I hope that works for ya!
