    You'll only need one certificate, it'll be passed between devices by ConfigSync. Strictly speaking you should tell your CA you'll be using the certificate on two devices (and probably pay more) but most don't I'm sure.

    you need only one certificate. the certificate can be used everywhere you want e.g. active bigip, standby bigip, web server. csr can be generated on either bigip or web server.
