Hi Kevin,
I am on the trial version of BIGIP-10.1.0.3341.1084
Thank you very much for your reply. I have tryed everything. For some reason it is probably just not going to work on this PC. I have uninstalled VMware Workstation (9.0.2 build-1031769), reloaded the VM, reset the F5 back to default configs, nothing will work.
The message from PING is "destination host unreachable", I think on this version of F5 maybe the selfIPs don't respond to PING, so I have been pinging some VMs I created. From each side I can ping the IPs, so from the F5 VM, I can ping all of the addresses on the F5 and from the laptop, i can ping all of the IPs the VM has created.
I have turned of Windows FW, this did not seem to be having an affect anyway, but I have left it off for now
I know what VM interface is what F5 interfaces as I can shut it down on the VM and see it go down on the F5, so I know the L1 is OK
I have pinged from the laptop specifying both the source and destination, just encase something weird source IP address is being selected. I can see the ping packets from my laptop appearing in the interface statistics counters of the F5, but the laptop just says "destination host unreachable"
Thanks for you help, with this, I have run out of idea's
Graham
