I don't think it is. There is a way around this though but its somewhat time consuming. Essentially you need to use BIG-IQ to update the REST framework on the device.

 

If you can get a trial license from your local SE this will do the trick and you should be able to do this from the BIG-IQ GUI as part of discovering the device.

 

Alternatively, you can download and fire up BIG-IQ VE and still do this even if its not licensed. However, you'll need to use the /usr/lib/dco/packages/upd-adc/update_bigip.sh CLI script rather than the GUI. I had problems using it but got it working once I changed the admin password to match the default root password.
