Nimbostratuswhy internal and external
All,
can you explain why when setting up the big-ip you should have an internal vlan and an external vlan? I'm getting more comfortable with F5 kit but the more aware I get the more curious ...

AdminAs Matt said, internal/external is just a name, there is no difference in how they operate like the designation would indicate in a traditional firewall product. And to Eric's point, I agree, I usually drop out of the initial configuration ahead of the network configuration so I can define the vlan names in a meaningful way specific to my environment.
