F5 BIG IP and wmware workstation

I just started the F5 course. My lab seems to me to be architected like that of the TP. I run it from a VMware Workstation 16. Everything is OK, except the possibility to attack the "external" paw 10...

I see... have you tried the other network binding methods, bridge, NAT in addition to host-only? And your PC_Client is onto attached to VMnet 13, can it reach the self IP's and VS's?

    Have you checked the MAC addressing to line up interface 1.2 with vmnet 13? Anything else different you can spot between vmnet 11?

    You could go as far as trying to swap them around and re-assigning IP's for troubleshooting purposes as well
