Do you mean link aggregation? If so then create a trunk on the f5 and add the interfaces to this trunk. You can also set the LACP settings here too.
Hope this helps, N

Create your trunk first ie a trunk with 2 bigip interfaces in the Trunks part of the GUI. Then create a vlan and assign it to the trunk. You can then create a self IP on this vlan.

Nathan,
you mean create the vlan with trunk ports and connect the port one to ASA 1 and port 2 to ASA 2? if yes BIGIP lcap uses both ports for sending the traffic? will stand by ASA firewall receive the traffic?
what happens here? can you explain?
