How to set up a BIG-IP 11.5.1 VE on mac OSX 10.9.4 using Oracle virtual box.

Hi,

With virtual box you can import ova/ovf files natively. What you have to do is to download the ova archive for ESXi servers available on https://downloads.f5.com and import it on virtual box.

You don't need anything else, the virtual machine will be installed directly with all the configuration you need (CPU, RAM, disk...)

Thanks Thomas ,I ve managed to install , its a free trail version,still trying to configure so that it can talk to the local m/c and I can HTPS to it .

You will find a documentation on TMOS implementation here http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-implementations-11-5-0.html

Then you will be able to work with LTM.

Still struggling to buy a lab license.
