Unable to connect to GUI on F5 VE via hypervisor

I downloaded trial version of F5 Virtual Edition BIG-IP VE 13.1.3 and installed on hypervisor.

I changed the Management IP address on the hypervisor to be in the same subnet as my local machine. My local machine is: 192.168.34.119 and f5 VM's IP address is: 192.168.34.125. But, I am unable to access f5 VE GUI from my machine over https (https://192.168.34.125).

but this IP Address is pingable from PC and SSH.

I'm not able to connect to GUI.

When I try to ping this IP Address, I get this - Reply from 192.168.34.125: Destination host reachable. I know that the VM is running. So, it must be something with the network but I don't know how to troubleshoot this issue ?

Also, I can test SSH access and it's working properly.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • You might have single NIC configurations:

    • The port for the Configuration utility is moved from 443 to 8443.

    https://<IP Address>:8443

    if yes then you have share error, if not check hypervisor Network settings and make sure that both devices are
