Assuming you are actually trying to access the api on the F5 you have provided screen shots for then the certificate you require is the device  certificate not the certificate in  traffic certificate management.

Install the device certificate from System  ››  Certificate Management : Device Certificate Management : Device Certificate into your java Keystore to trust the self signed certificate used by the F5 device irtself.

Thanks for the explanation, is there any specific alias name which I need to specify  in the command.

keytool -import -noprompt -trustcacerts -alias http://www.example.com -file "C:\Path\to\www.example.com.cer" -keystore cacerts
