How does Bigip F5 LTM select which VM Adapter it assigns to the management interface

I want my management interface to use adapter 0 of my VM. It has an affinity to adapter 1 not matter what I seem to do. I have tried editing base-mac in bigip_base.conf. No matter what I do it uses...

Big ip takes the first interface in the ltm as management (eth0)

 

go for ssh and do (ifconfig eth0 X.X.X.X netmask Y.Y.Y.Y) do ifconfig eth0 to check that the ip has been taken

 

or fix this ip as managment by tmsh create sys management-ip X.X.X.X/Z

 

but in both cases u should disable the dhcp option from the mgmt interface by tmsh command

 

for other interfaces in the virtual machine they will be the data interfaces (1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 ..etc)

 

so interface 1 (eth0): is mgmt interface 2: is 1.1 interface 3 is : 1.2 interface 4 is :1.3
