Global Blacklist or Whitelist

Does anyone know f5 has blacklist or whitelist globally not per security policy?

Thanks

      Thanks Niko but this solution is not effective for my solution because of you need to attach this irule or local traffic policy to your all virtual servers manually. If you think you have 200 virtual servers, that would be really hard for you.

      • You may call me Nik 😉 as a shortcut. I was going to also suggest to make a parent policy to attach the whitelist under it or to script the 200 VIP iRule attachment as no one will do this manually but Mohamed's solution seems nice as I did not know packet filters will unblock ASM/aWAF policy or DDOS blocking as this never crossed my mind as I thought that packet filters are just  stateless layer 3/4 access lists that do not affect something like layer 7 Security but if that is the case it seems easy to do it  and I may try it as well for some clients 😀
