NimbostratusCan't access F5 VE GUI admin console
I downloaded trial version of F5 Virtual Edition BIG-IP VE 11.3.0.39.0 and installed on VSXi VM. I followed the steps given on this link :

NimbostratusIf you have console access you should be able to log in and see if you can ping the default gateway or ping your workstation. If you can't that explains the problem.
SOL Article 13369 has info about the initial configuration steps via console. From the console type "config". That will launch the initial configuration wizard that walks you through configuring the management interface. Make sure you supply the default gateway as the default route.

NimbostratusWhat is your default gateway on your workstation? Whatever you have there for the default gateway is what you want to have on the F5 as well. I would assume you can ping the default gateway from your workstation. If you cannot ping the default gateway from the F5 then there is something wrong in the config of the network interface; likely on the hypervisor (VMware) side. There really isn't much to configuration of the mgmt interface on the F5.
