Hi.

 

I am new to the F5 world.

 

I have a similar problem ( or the same ) trying to build a small LTM testbed.

 

I am using Win XP with VMware Workstation 7.0 and Big IP LTM VE 10.1 trial edition.

 

The host machine has two NICs, VMware detects them OK, but in LTM VE I can only use the management interface which is attached to the ext interface.

 

I configured both Int and Ext in BIG-IP as custom, each one bridged to on of the two NICs. I also created self IPs on each. The two interfaces do not come up.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Tks.
