Hello,

I modified a little bit your procedure:

  1. System > Device certificate > Renew -> Please, be sure to select "Issuer: Certificate Authority". This action will generate CSR, copy csr text at the end of the wizard and send to your CA(issuer). Note CSR files have headers:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

  2. Yes, you are right no action at this point.

  3. Once you receive the certiticate, import the CA file 
    `System  ››  Device Certificates : Trusted Device Certificates

Finally, import F5's certificate signed by your CA:

`System  ››  Device Certificates : Device Certificate

and this will replace the certificate immediately if the verification is OK in F5.
