I would try telneting to the IP:Port from one of your F5 nodes.

From TMSH go to bash, then:

 telnet callhome.f5.com  443
Trying 65.61.115.198...
Connected to callhome.f5.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

 telnet activate.f5.com 443
Trying 208.85.210.4...
Connected to activate.f5.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

If you get a connection timeout, then either you don't have a route or connectivity. This presumes you have DNS configured as well.
