    A BIG-IP instance is defined as a physical BIG-IP appliance, a VIPRION chassis, a vCMP virtual instance, or a Virtual Edition instance. This includes standalone units.

     

    So, yes.

    Yes, As of My knowledge. Its all about managing only 5 BIG-IP Instances. A BIG-IP instance is defined as a physical BIG-IP appliance, a VIPRION chassis, a vCMP virtual instance, or a Virtual Edition instance. This includes standalone units.
