Your connection to 10.128.1.245 could be going through the VPN tunnel. So that your VM is unreachable. I don't think it is an F5 issue.

 

Even if you are using split tunnel, the subnet of your VM could be in your wok network.

 

You can check your routing table "netstat -nr" and try to do a traceroute to that IP from your Macbook. That should tell how your traffic to 10.128.1.245 is going.

    Thanks Minn. I asked the VPN team and they said the VPN allow split tunnel. Also, the VPN does modify the route table but only to Tunnel specific IP's that force through the VPN. Unfortunately they cannot help me troubleshoot the issue. When I tried it without VPN connection for "netstat -rn" command: 10.128.1.245 0:c:29:40:2c:6b UHLWIi 2 40 vmnet2 1190 With VPN connection for "netstat -rn" command: 10.128.1.245 10.70.200.92 UGHWIi 2 17 utun0 traceroute 10.128.1.245 traceroute to 10.128.1.245 (10.128.1.245), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 10.200.200.200 (10.200.200.200) 5.111 ms 5.816 ms 4.928 ms I even run "sudo route add -host 10.128.1.245 -interface vmnet2" but still not working. I just cannot launched F5 admin console with https://10.128.1.245 any ideas? thanks!!
