Unable to access the BIG-IP GUI - Using Virtual Edition on Vmware Workstation.
Hi Friends,
I am trying to practice BIG-IP LTM using Virtual Edition on Vmware Workstation. I am following CBT Nuggets and have followed the below steps.
1.Downloaded the .ova file from F5 download site.
2.Deployed the .ova file on my Vmware machine.
3.Created the following interfaces on my Vmware machine as mentioned in the CBT Nuggets :
Network Adapter 1 Linked to vmnet1, host only(Subnet - 10.1.0.0/24)
Network Adapter 2 Linked to vmnet0, bridged (Subnet - 192.168.1.0/24)
Network Adapter 3 Linked to vmnet2, host only(Subnet - 10.2.0.0/24)
Network Adapter 4 Linked to vmnet3, host only(Subnet - 10.3.0.0/24)
4.Started the BIG-IP appliance and configured the address using "config" command as 10.1.0.145 255.255.255.0 for the mgmt interface.
I am unable to open this in my web browser now. I have disabled Proxy, Firewall and removed my Internet connection but still https://10.1.0.145 is not opening in my Browser(Firefox and IE).
This is a Windows Machine and i have checked the below:
cmd > ipconfig > was able to see VMnet1, 2 and 3.
They are responding to ping.
After the management IP is configured to 10.1.0.145 with 255.255.255.0 the ip is not pingable and unable to connect to GUI.
Please advise on how i can proceed further to fix this fault.
Regards Rudran
