Hello,
You could run "ifconfig eth0" and check if MAC address, plus the subnet to the first "network adapter" on VMware BIG-IP machine settings, matches each other. Plus, check if your pc are connect to the same network as the BIG-IP.

As you MAC address matches to BIG-IP, are you able to ping BIG-IP address "10.1.0.145" ?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Your VMnet1 isn't on 10.1.0.0/24. So, you need to put this subnet on VMnet1 or change the BIG-IP management ip address to 192.168.139.0/24 subnet.
