    The support matrix is here: http://support.f5.com/content/dam/f5/kb/global/solutions/sol10288_images.html/big-ip-product-matrix-v35.pdf

     

    The 1600 does support LTM & LC on the same hardware.

    Thanks, my question was can I use it to perform both operations. i.e I want to load balance internal servers and also want to use as Link balancer.
