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...

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?

  Ok. I think it may be that your host doesn't have an IP on the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet? VMware Workstation would have installed some VMnet adapters on your local machine and you can assign it an IP address within that subnet so it can communicate via that
