Hi

 

It seems not supported on Single NIC deployment.

 

"When BIG-IP VE first boots, it determines the number of active NICs. If BIG-IP VE detects one NIC, then:

  • Networking objects (vNIC 1.0, a VLAN named Internal, and an associated self IP address) are created automatically for you.
  • The port for the Configuration utility is moved from 443 to 8443.
  • High availability (failover) is not supported, but config sync is.
  • VLANs must have untagged interfaces."

 

To support failover, you need at least 2 NICs, usually one for "Production" trafic, 1 for HA/ConfigSync/Mirroring, and for more demanding architecture, you may want to dedicate one for mirroring.

 

But I confirm, with 2 NICs no problems :)
