NimbostratusF5 Virtual NIC Type
Hi
I would like, if possible some clarification on virtual NIC type that should be used.
I have been reviewing our F5 estate and can see different virtual NICs have been set within our virtual environment, including VMXNET3 E1000E E1000
We are experiencing various issues and believe this maybe the problem
VMXNET3 - appears to be set within the OVA
Should this be set for all interfaces? Is this article correct?

From experience I recommend using VMXNET3. Using E1000 / E1000e with BIG-IP VE gave me a couple of PSOD/Purple Screen Of Death... and I stopped using this type of adapter.
