i am having the same problem... ive verified that my adapters macs are on the correct interfaces. ive been beating my head against the wall with this basic issue for almost 2 weeks. ive even modified my vmnet0 and placed it on the same /24 subnet as my outside self ip and my virtual server destination address to no avail. im new to vmware and bigip but even with all my googling and searching ive not found to many instances of people having this issue. of course the one i do find (this one) and theres no more than 1 response :) my luck

 

anyone? bueller? bueller??

    I am having the same issue. VMNET0 cannot communicate with the VIP. However, in the F5 CLI or the Virtual servers the VIP is reachable and the LB works. Only thing that doesn't work is the bridge interface. I am assuming some type of arp issue since I can cannot ping both ways my P.C <-> F5 VIP. Wondering if F5 knows why the trial version 11.3 may have a issue with Windows 8.x Bridged interfaces. Will post the answer when I find the solution. Thinking for creating a VMNETx as a host and manually bridging it with the network.
