Hi,

 

When you say "add the VIP" do you mean that you've deployed the BIG-IP virtual machine in VMware?- Yes true!

 

If so, have you configured Self IPs and tested connectivity?- Yes, I have checked, that is working.

 

Actually, I have added pool members but without virtual server how it will come up. I have set up a test environment in VMware and installed F5 LTM virtual addition lack of virtual server I am not able to do any VIP or pool/node testing that is in an unknown state. Even I have downloaded the xp ios to work as the virtual server but that is not supporting.

 

If so, do you have a specific question about adding a Virtual Server (often referred to as a "vip")? - Yes, you are on the right page.
