Nimbostratusissue to set up F5 on VMware workstation Pro
hi,
trying to deploy for testing purpose, F5 Version: 16.1.4.1 Build 0.0.5 on vmware workstation pro and connecting network cards as in host only mode, these don't seem to work, although the first card I connected for management responds to me and allows me to arrive on the apparatus.
for example the same configuration on other appliances such as fortigate works for me and I can see and use all the cards.
attached the configuration
Thanks For support.
Regards

probably you need to edit the vm via gui or the ovf file to change the virtual adapter type to vmxnet3
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1001805btw, i see you run it in windows host.
if you have windows pro, not home edition, you can enable hyper-v hypervisor.
it is a type1 hypervisor, similar to vmware esx, so it's much faster and better than type2 like vmware player/workstation.
