Welcome to the BIG-IP LTM VE forums

Hey Dev Central,

 

 

I've set up the BIG-IP VE on my mac and have it up and running in Fusion VMware. I've configured a management IP and internal and external self IPs . I'm having a real basic and frustrating problem.

 

 

I've set up a simple Python webserver at 192.168.1.8 on Port 8001. This server works fine, and is located on my home subnet of 192.168.1.X . My actual MacBook is on 192.168.1.200. My router is 192.168.1.1.

 

 

For the BIG-IP, my internal self IP is 192.168.1.245; and my external is 10.80.80.245.

 

 

I try and set up a pool with one member defined right on my subnet as 192.168.1.8 with port 8001, and an http monitor is set. The kicker: I can't get it to light up green.

 

 

I've set the default gateway in Network settings to my router's IP, (is this correct??) but I *cannot* ping my router in the VMware command line. I can, however, ping my self IPs from the command line. Can anyone offer insight as to

 

why I can't get my one humble pool member on line ?

 

 

Is this an issue with the VM ware, or the BIG-IP config?

 

 

Thanks !
