    2. After the deployment of the virtual appliance, power the appliance from the vCenter.

    • If the management is configured for static address, then you must configure the management interface using VM console. For more information, see Deploying BIG-IP Virtual Edition in ESXi. 

    Result: You must successfully set up the Management Interface.
