Hi Chris,
You're seeing many virtual and internal adapters in Linux. The adapters named HA, external and internal refer to configured TMM vlans. The adapters named tmm and tmm_bp are internal. You shouldn't expect to see the 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 interfaces here because TMM "owns" them. TMM handles these interfaces directly which prevents them from showing up in Linux. The view from TMM as seen in "tmsh show net interface" is what really matters since TMM processes the traffic using these interfaces.
Lastly, your mgmt interface is probably the only one that works as you would expect, being a direct connection to the VMware e1000 nic.
Hope this helps.

Danny,
Do I understand correctly that
- 1.1
- 1.2
- 1.3
- mgmt
are virtual interfaces, that have appropriate vNICs or phisical cooper/optic interfaces depending on platform - virtual or phisical and
- eth0
- tmm
- tmm_bp
- http-tunnel
- socks-tunnel
- portal_profile - that appears in my case as well, when I run ip link show
are internal F5 interfaces?

Hello Ford. Yes, these internal interfaces are used by the Linux kernel and can be safely ignored. You may be asked to check these during the course of troubleshooting but otherwise they should be left alone.
