    When you provision a Host Only interface you must tick the option which says to create the interface in Windows otherwise it will not actually create a virtual interface which the OS needs to talk to the VM.

     

    Also when you have a NAT interface your default route should be to the .2 address and not the .1 address.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I think in VMware workstation, it is default option to create an adapter for host based interface, and I have verified it again and found it is available in my network settings.

 

However I didn't get the idea of the default route for NAT interface? I have 1.1 (External) interface configured as NAT, and unfortunately my F5 still doesn't have access to the internet.

 

Is there anything to be considered?

 

Cheers!
