Jun 17, 2012Problem with Virtual Edition
Hi All,
I have Installed LTM VE 11.1 on Vmware Workstation 8.0.3. Host machine is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I have the following network configuration on Workstation.
VMnet0
B...
I'm guessing that the network topology of VMnet1 and VMnet2 are not aligned. This is common with VMware Workstation (but, hey, unsupported!)
I would verify that the configured NIC's MAC addresses line up between the hypervisor and the BIG-IP VE. ping and arp are useful for troubleshooting these sorts of scenarios as well. (I'd try pinging the 10.70 self-ip from my workstation)
to work around, you can do the BIG-IP method or VMware method.
BIG-IP method:
Reconfigure your vlans in BIG-IP. If VMnet2 was supposed to be on 1.2 and VMnet1 is on 1.1, try setting VMnet2 to 1.1 and VMnet1 to 1.2.
VMware method:
you can reconfigure the vlan assignment on the hypervisor side - assign interface 1's vlan to interface 2, and vice versa.
