LTM 11.2.0 VE now requires VMXNET3 network adapter breaks VirtualBox

qe

 

 

I am getting closer realizing that the module "virtio_net" was never loaded I made an adjustment in a config file in /etc/modeprobe.d specifically f5-platform-common where I added three lines to the end. Then I rebooted the VM and the "virtio_net" module loaded and more importantly I actually found the interfaces 1.1 and 1.2 in tmsh. So now it seems that I just need to get my licencing straight.

 

 

[root@bigip1:LICENSE INOPERATIVE:Standalone] config tail -3 /etc/modprobe.d/f5-platform-common

 

QSI/JAS adjust theses to virtio and fource load of virtio_net module on reboot
