We need to configuring the BGP session for IPV4 & IPV6 between F5 Load Balancer & Router. Pls confirm the best way for configuring the same. BR//Suresh Joshi

You need to license and use ZebOS to perform BGP on the BIGIP https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/related/bgp-commandreference-7-8-4.html

grep your /config/bigip.license file for "Routing Bundle" to check if you can use dynamic routing protocols. In case if "Routing Bundle" is marked as optional module you have to contact your sales representative and ask for Advanced Routing Add-on License. For configuring protocols use the document on the link Pete provided.
