  • I guess you mean 2GB.. I am running a Virtual machine on version 15, with LTM only and have 4GB provisioned. Try that and let me know..

        If you mean rebootg the big ip appliance Virtual image , then I've tried that , when it shuts down , my session is disconnected, and when it comes back, nothing changes

  • Please try one thing, through cli try to configure Virtual Server using below command under TMSH.

     

    create ltm virtual <vs name> destination <ip:port> pool <pool name> ip-protocol tcp source-address-translation { type automap }

     

    Please check if you are able to create and see it using 'show ltm virtual-address x.x.x.x' under tmsh. If you are able to see, then try to change browser for accessing WebUI.

     

    Hope it helps!

      I tried chrome rather than mozilla , it didnt solve the problem, i also tried the commands you gave me , i logged in as root from my VM and then i typed tmsh and then your command , but this is what it says:

      Syntax Error: "<10.10.10.10:80>" ​contains invalid or ambiguous service 80>

        I removed the <> around the address and now this is what they respond :

        01070088:3: the requested object name (/Common/HTTP_vs> is invalid

  • The below command should work to create VS through cli.

     

     create ltm virtual TEST_VS destination 10.10.10.10:80 pool TEST_POOL source-address-translation { TYpe automap }

     

    Can you please confirm image version of VM that you are using?

  • Hmmm... Can you confirm how much memory you provisioned for this Virtual machine, and whether LTM is fully licensed and provisioned?
