NimbostratusUnable to contact BIG-IP device using F5 networks VE (LTM) trial versions in VMware Workstation
Hi all,
I recently create a BIG-IP homelab for education purpose using F5 networks VE(LTM) in VMware Workstation. The first F5 networks VE(LTM) that I create in VMware Workstation is function well and I can test all the LTM features normally. Now, I had try to set up another F5 networks VE(LTM) in the same VMware Workstation. A notification message pop out after I set up the 2nd F5 network VE. The 2nd F5 network VE is remain offline. Am I doing wrong in setting up 2nd F5 networks device in VMware Workstation? Thank you.
