For VMWare Fusion 11, this worked for me;

Under the topic heading "F5 BIG-IP Configuration

  1. Configuring the Management Interface"

 

For option 10 (Edit the Management Route to 10.128.1.1, then press the Tab to activate the OK option, and press Enter) Change the Route to 10.128.1.2 <-- Within the VM, this was pinging, but not 10.128.1.1 - Configuring this allowed me to attach SSH, and use the management console, PLUS allowed pings from the Macintosh Terminal window to 10.128.1.145 per the instructions.
