Its your choice how you are managing f5 device
. Basically management is use to manage f5 device configuration, Monitoring snmp, etc. Self IP address is an IP address on the f5 system that you associate with a VLAN, to access hosts in that VLAN. Most organization restrict self-ip to access LB device & don't segregate mgmt traffic to self-IP & avoid mess during troubleshooting.
