issue to set up F5 on VMware workstation Pro

probably you need to edit the vm via gui or the ovf file to change the virtual adapter type to vmxnet3

btw, 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.
