    When you provision a Host Only interface you must tick the option which says to create the interface in Windows otherwise it will not actually create a virtual interface which the OS needs to talk to the VM.

     

    Also when you have a NAT interface your default route should be to the .2 address and not the .1 address.

Thanks Kevin,

 

I have configured interfaces as you've suggested. And I can access the appliance using the Management IP address and Internal VLAN self IP address. However I don't have internet access from the F5 console.

 

The default route is pointing as 0.0.0.0/0 => 192.168.20.1 (InternalVLAN IP address).

 

Management (Host only) 192.168.10.0/24

 

External VLAN (1.1) - (NAT) 192.168.20.0/24

 

Can reach 192.168.20.1 successfully.

 

Internal VLAN (1.2) - (Host Only) 192.168.30.0/24 Cannot reach 192.168.30.1

 

I am sure I made a configuration mistake somewhere. As I don't internet access from F5, and none of the Host-only interfaces are reaching their gateway, .1

 

Can you correct?
