Some deployment questions in a virtualised environment
Hi,
I have the F5 LTM lab deployed as a VM on my single Hyper-V 2012 R2 server.
I want to now configure this and the initial steps ask for vlans. At the moment, the environment does not use VLANs at all.
This brings a few questions:
1) Can I use F5 without VLANs or are VLANs a requirement? 2) The web gui setup utility shows "vlan interfaces". Are these the NICs on the F5? If so, is this in the same order as NICs shown in Hyper-V settings? So I see 1.1 and 1.2, which NICs are these? 3) Also, what is a "self ip" and in the gateway box, what's the implication if I have no gateway?
Thanks
