Hi All,

 

 

I am very new to F5. Currently I am struggling for setting up f5 in VMWARE. Let me tell you bit background what I am doing.

 

 

I downloaded F5 LTM VM version 10.1 and installed into VMWARE workstation 7. I successfully installed and assigned mgmt IP (192.168.168.1). I want to test capturing credit card number from http traffic and convert real CC number into some dummy CC number.

 

 

So far I have 3 systems in my test room.

 

 

1> Windows XP with sp3. Here I installed VMWARE workstation 7.0 and loaded f5 VM LTM

 

2> Windows XP with MS IIS running with sample html script

 

3> Windows 7 Test machine

 

 

So as per document, I have assigned two VLANs. Internal VLAN with self IP 192.168.1.84 and external VLAN with self IP 192.168.2.84

 

 

I would like to connected IIS server into internal network and Windows 7 machine into external network. As you see, I am using virtual instance so do not understand how I can achieve this. F5 virtual instance has three virtual interfaces, one for mgmt in bridge mode and two are in host-only mode.

 

 

Can any one help me to setup this environment? I am strugling since last 3 days and I have to demonstrate by this Friday. So I have do or die situation.

 

 

I appreciate if some one for you help me to save my job.

 

 

Thanks,
