Cirrocumulusthank you. May I have one more question?
for BIG-IP 2000 which is EoSD exceed.
But If I install version 15.1.2 which is still in EoSD phase, Will F5 fix bug on it?
If i have bug/defect/vulnerabilities on v.15.1.2 in BIG-IP 2000s, Will F5 fix it for me?

In most cases hotfixes for IDs are only developed against the current release, which means they are unlikely to be implemented against an older codebase. This means that platforms that are EoSD may not get hotfixes for critical vulnerabilities on the final release supported on that platform.
Customers in this situation should be having a discussion with their F5 Account team/F5 Sales about their options to move forward to supported platforms - this includes Virtual Editions which are more flexible than some hardware options, and can take advantage of more memory and faster CPUs than older physical BigIP devices.
