Hi,
So first of donwolad your OVA (I advise you to download last version: v14):
https://support.f5.com/csp/my-support/home
Then install you OVA in VMWARE/CITRIX. You should have 4 interface (the first one is dedicated for mgmt)
So configure your Hardware requirements to host BIG-IP VE (2-core CPU requires at least 4 GB of RAM, it's depending the module you want to provision):
- 1 core need 2 Gb
- 2 core need 4 Gb
- 4 core need 8 Gb
- 8 core need 16 Gb

Don't forget to fix your interface/vlan on each Interface (Vmware). I advise you to have an Dedicated interface for mgmt.
usin cli enter the following command: config
then configure mgmt IP (IP/mask and gw).
At this point you can reach your VE using GUI and you can install your VE. Install your License and set your SelfIP...
If you need help on specific point keep me in touch.
