Hi,

 

Could you please clarify your question ? how do you do what on vmware workstation ?

 

Floating IP addresses are IP addresses that only the active BigIP member respond to in a specific traffic group. So if you have two bigip in an active/standby, only the bigip in which traffic_group_a is set to active will respond to this floating IP . If a fail-over occurs, this IP will float to the other member and then he'll respond now to the floating IP.

 

Hope it'll help
