Nimbostratuswhat is needed to make floating IP?
I downloaded Big-IP LTM VE 11.3 and start it on my vmware workstation.
During configuration from web UI, there's a step where I need to specify self IP and floating IP for VLAN. When I entered and IP address it showed "required".
How do I do this on vmware workstation 11?

Hi Lobak,
Why would it not proceed if I do not intend to do failover?
Do not configure it ... I mean what's the issue with the floating ip ? After changing the password in the setup utility just click finished and you're good to go. Go to the Network menu and configure your non-floating internal and external self IPs.
If however you click next, the wizzard will help you configure : Redundancy, VLANs, NTP, DNS, Config Sync Failover, Mirroring, Peer Device Discovery (for Redundant Configurations).
Hope it'll help,
Karim

Lobak_187587Hi,
I'm following steps from https://servcentral.wordpress.com/2014/07/19/setting-up-bigip-ltm-ve-trial-vmware-workstation/
My virtual NICs setting
vmnet0 bridged to eth0 vmnet1 host-only 192.168.150/24 vmnet2 host-only 192.168.151/24 vmnet3 host-only 192.168.152/24

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
regards
