network interfaces not connecting

hadn't heard of skytap before, you might want to do a search on that in combination with F5 VE. also if you know the exact hypervisor technology you can search on that. it matters which interfaces you use i believe.

Not familiar with skytap, presume it's cloud based. What hypervisor does it use? I'd double check the interface type in skytap with reference to the requirement in the installation guide

Sorry boneyard...didn't see your comment (which I've pretty much copied...oops). Think it's because I was on the mobile version of DC. Glad we both agree however ;-)

It's VMware ESXi 5.5 as hypervisor on Skytap cloud. The network interfaces are automatic, as far as I know there isn't anything special about them, and as the mgmt interface works fine I think there's some configuration problem in the F5 networking layer but am not sure how I can troubleshoot. The following network adapters are in the F5 Big IP LTE 11.4 Virtual Edition virtual machine.

So things that jump out. Int 1.2 is disabled and they are running at 10gb. Other than that, any relevant info in ltm log file?
