Im going to be a little harsh here perhaps, but the term you use doesn't exist. You can call it CA machine certificate, but it is better to find out how the rest of the world calls them.

Every certificate is a SSL certificate, sure you have client, server, (intermediate) CA certificates, but they are all SSL. You even say it comes from a Trusted Certifying Authority which points to SSL.

Mohamed_Ahmed_Kansoh suggests the device certificate, which is again nothing more then a client/server SSL certificate but used for management access and BIG-IP to BIG-IP communication.

Will you be using the certificate for management or for traffic through the BIG-IP?

Hi boneyard , 

Yes I expected that he is asking for Device certificate specially he mentioned it's comming from CA , So may he asking for Device Cert itself which he calls it machine certificate. 

That's my expectation... 

Thanks boneyard
