    Hi Ireda 

     

    To avoid capacity issues in BIG-IP , you should provision the BIG-IP ASM module on systems with at least 8 GB or more of memory. The system permits provisioning both BIG-IP ASM and BIG-IP LTM as Nominal . However, you should provision the BIG-IP ASM system as Dedicated to allocate the maximum available memory for the BIG-IP ASM system.  Everything related how much traffic you are getting in to ASM.

    For more info you can request support from f5 or pre sales.
