Interfaces uninitialized?
- qe_102628NimbostratusVMware Converter lets one specify the number of NICs at deployment time, but there is a default of one NIC using this method. I prefer to add on four dataplane NICs at deployment time.
- qe_102628NimbostratusVE trial doesn't support VMXNET3 interfaces - this is why they're coming up with all zero MAC addreses. In VE production (10.2.x), E1000 are not supported but VMXNET3 are - you will see the same behavior.
- Derek_21893NimbostratusAh, thanks for that tip! What does /var/db/mcpdb.bin do anyhow?
- Derek_21893NimbostratusF5 support said that the Trial Version runs on different code than the production version of LTM VE, and that the Trial Version has all sorts of bugs. It looks like the UNINITIALIZED interface bug exists in both the trial version and production version though. F5 said that they will address the bug at some point in the future.

I see the same "In VE production (11.2.x), E1000 are not supported but VMXNET3 are"But, I actually see MAC addresses (and they randomly swap on each reboot messing with the license key) but do not seem to be able to get a "Int" and "Ext" network only the management port always works by giving me connectivity.Note I never had a problem withBig-IP LTM VE (10.1.0) but I need to upgrade to use soem new 11.2.X features.I would love to run Big-IP LTM VE (11.2.0) it in VirtualBox is it possible ? Is there any workaround ?I also opened a question to the same effect athttps://devcentral.f5.com/Community...fault.aspx - David__PaschAltostratus
I've just got 11.2 running in VMWorkstation 7 with "e1000" for mgmt, and "VMXNET3" for 1.1 and 1.2.

Editing my .vmx and ensuring all my interfaces had ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
worked for me.
