Cirrusf5_api_com Certificate Expiry
We observe this certificate(f5_api_com) on our F5 is about to expire.
f5_api_com
Would like to understand, what is the purpose of this certificate ?
What would be the impact if this expires ?
Is this certificate necessary and What are the steps to renew this certificate ?

This f5_api_com cert is one that the BIG-IP creates during the licensing process. You can safely delete and re-create it using these instructions (during a maintenance window, because re-licensing does interrupt traffic momentarily):

If that cert actually expires, it might disrupt the auto-update software checks (your BIG-IP --> F5 cloud) but won't have any impact on your user traffic.

dont think that is a "f5" cert....
click it and find out who issued it. click instances to see if its assigned to a profile.
