F5 optimal uptime.

Hi,   I would like to ask what is the optimal uptime for Big-IP LTM/GTM? Do we need to schedule reboot it for some certain point of time to make sure the F5 is in optimal condition?

No where i have seen optimal Uptime for LB device but i am rebooting device every 200days. Manly its up to your environment/infra.

 

Example: Some module of Cisco ASA behavior get change after 213 days device up.
