Anyone had any luck getting the Firepower virtual appliance for VMware (vFTD) running in workstation? I have tried it on 12.0 and 12.5 but upon initializing it blows up with a stack dump. I've seen others say the error is related to initializing the fourth e1000 interface and indeed if you remove one of the virtual NICs it will come up and let you log in - but it then never completes its setup because it requires 4 NICs in the system. The docs are very clear about that.
I've loaded it into ESXi 6.0 without a problem although the console is a pain to work with. I also tried nesting ESXi 5.5 inside workstation 12.5 but same result - core dump and reboot.
It would be helpful to get the virtual appliance workable in a lab setting with workstation. Please don't respond with an answer such as "that's not supported" - yeah I know that - just wondering if someone found a way around.
Thanks.
