    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.

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