F5 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...

Hi farid95 have you tried setting vmnet13 to Bridged and testing?

  I think I'm a bit confused. Just to clarify: Your local VMware Workstation host can ping into the self IP and VIPs of the 10.10.10.0/24 network?
  
  It's just PC_Client within the lab that you've setup that can't reach the VIPs hosted on the BIG-IP within the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet? Can it reach the self IP?
