VWIRE in VE

[Luk3]

Hello,

Can anyone confirm that vwire is available and should work in Virtual Edition?

I got a VMware VM and I can see that the menu option is in place: Network ›› Virtual Wire

I also read for example here: https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-articles/virtual-wire-configuration-and-troubleshooting/ta-p/2...

that the VE and vCMP environments do not support vwire.

I am asking cause probably this information is outdated - I need just to confirm. So that my problems with deploing it are worth solving...

Thanks in advance 🙂

Virtual Wire is not supported on VE, and it sounds like its a feature of the Broadcom chipset in some platforms.

"Bear in mind that L2 topology modes are only supported on the following F5 BIG-IP i58x0 platforms and above which have the Broadcom chipset, plus the VIPRION B2250 and B4450 blades."
