F5-BIG-LTM-VE - 3 Virtual Network Adapters

Hello Friends,

 

We have purchased F5-BIG-LTM-VE licenses. We are trying to setup the environment and while going thru the setup guides, I see that at a minimum we need 3 Virtual Network Adapters.

 

I am trying to find out the usage/purpose of these NIC cards..

 

1 NIC - Managment Console

 

2 NIC - External Facing

 

3 NIC - Internal Facing

 

Kindly correct me if I am wrong?

 

Thank you, Nikee Cheella

    Correct.

     

    1.1 : adapter 1 on ESX --> MGMT

     

    1.2 : adapter 2 on ESX --> production 1 (external)

     

    1.3 : adapter 3 on ESX --> production 2 (internal)

     

    You can use only one production interface if you use one arm configuration.
