can we use f5 as a load balancing and web application firewall solution for an application? If yes what would be the architecture and also share the related documents... are these different modules and can be added.

 

LTM or GTM should be used?

    Yes, you would need LTM and ASM. I'd suggest your best bet would be to talk to your local F5 sales team.

    Hi Ajeesh,

     

    You can use existing F5 hardware unit for your requirement. You should have license for both LTM and ASM. You need to do resource provisioning for both LTM and ASM.

     

    No change required for your existing architecture, since ASM can be configured as inline to the existing setup.

     

    Simply ASM is a software module just like any other modules LTM, GTM, etc., in which we can configure dedicated policy and associate it with LTM virtual server.

     

    Please let me know if you have any queries.

     

    Thanks and Regards
