    The problem was with the F5 90 days trial license. i got a temporary 45 days full trial license from F5 and that solved the issue.

     

    sounds stupid? indeed

Configure a VLAN using 1.1

 

Configure a Self IP using the new VLAN

 

Go back and view interfaces. Is 1.1 still uninitialized?

    Hi, thanks so much for replying. Unfortunately, still uninitialized after trying what you have suggested.

    Ok then you are likely hitting a virtualization status bug. Is the virtual interface connected to a known VLAN? Is the selfIP in that VLAN? Then try pinging an address in that VLAN from the command line on the F5. If the ping is successful then it is the status bug then the network will be fine, it is just not reflected in the GUI. It may show as UP after a reboot.
