Lab installation VE F5

Hi,

I was wondering how the installation would react if i would install a stand alone virtual edition of F5 with 3 nics instead of 4, because i don't really need a HA interface.

Or is just desired to have 4 VMXnet nics with just a HA enabled 1 with just 1 device in it? Because with that last would it be a extra configuration on switch / vmware level.

Any suggestion whether to choose for 3 or 4 nics?

kind regards
