APM configuration query
While configuring APM, do we have to have configure self ip for any particular reason or task to perform ? I think for AFM we do, To make sure traffic is allowed on particular vlan which is represented by the self-ip. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you, S
I guess it's plausible that your SSL VPN connects to the same internal network you already had configured; one that already had a self-IP configured. It would then at least seem like you didn't need to set a self-ip, which could be understandably misleading.
I would highly recommend getting a team to do the configuration for you, or at least doing more research on self-ips, in addition to having a chat with your SE. It sounds like you have a currently working environment; any misconfiguration could jeopardize your production environment.

Regardless of which modules are enabled, self IP's provide a few functions:
1) They tell the BIG-IP which networks it is directly connected to
I'd go ahead and configure self IP's for any vlans configured, unless I was implementing a solution that I knew didn't need them.

SELFIP is the fundamental components that you need to configure in F5, regardless of which module you are using.
