I have Fusion 5.0.3, and here is my setup:

 

In the Fusion preferences, I have 4 "Custom" network settings:

 

  1. Private to my Mac
  2. vmnet2: Connect the host Mac to this network
  3. vmnet3: Allow Virtual Machines on this network to connect to external networks using NAT AND Connect the host Mac to this network
  4. vmnet4: No settings checked (this essentially is the "server" vlan and doesn't allow access to those servers unless you go through the LTM

This is what I have configured in my BIG-IP VE:

 

  1. Network Adapter: vmnet2 (Acts as Mgmt Port)
  2. Network Adapter2: vmnet3 (Acts as 1.1)
  3. Network Adapter3: vmnet4 (Acts as 1.2)
  4. Network Adapter4: Bridged Networking / Autodetect (you don't have to have this one connected unless you want / need it to be.

Let me know if this doesn't help out.
