NimbostratusF5 BIG IP and wmware workstation
I just started the F5 course. My lab seems to me to be architected like that of the TP. I run it from a VMware Workstation 16. Everything is OK, except the possibility to attack the "external" paw 10.10.10.0/24 from my client machine.
A ping of ip self 10.10.10.200 with the port lockdown allow default option from the PC_Client is failed. A ping of 10.10.10.1 from the PC_Client responds.
The "external" network is connected to my vmnet13 which also connects my Client and the "1.2" interface via the external vlan of the F5-BigIP.
It is therefore impossible for me to perform the access test in HTTP and HTTPS to my VS 10.10.10.10 which does not respond.
If anyone has a lead, I thank them in advance.
Kind regards

farid95 - if you have not been able to resolve this yet let me know and I will see if I can get an expert to take a look.

Ping NOK from my physical machine to 10.10.10.200VS: 10.10.10.10:80 with http profile
the VS is not reachable from my physical machinedo you have a solution?
JonathancertI want to make sure i understand your problem. I believe you want to connect to your VS in VMware form your physical machine and not through a virtual client within VMware. I've been working on a VMware lab also. I have two LTM in active/standby and one GTM. I am able to ping my VS from mt physical machine and even connect to the VS via a browser. Is it possible your PC firewall could be blocking things. Is this what you are trying to do (see below).
