I believe it to be NOT best practice to hand modify the bigip.conf, and probably completely unsupported, but it will work, and I have done it. Just back it up before you touch it, and be aware they could be a service impact when you reload the config.

 

A more supported method is to use merge. See https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/big-ip-and-merge-file-configuration-changes. bigpipe is deprecated in 11.4, you will have to use the tmsh equivalents. ( https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/tmsh.bigpipemappings.ashx)
