To restrict HTTPS access (to the Configuration Utility), use the following tmsh command: [tmsh] modify sys httpd allow replace-all-with { 10.11.*.* } to replace the allow list entirely or [tmsh] modify sys httpd allow add { 10.11.*.* } to add an address or network to it.
There is no Configuration Utility method for restricting Configuration Utility access; however you can now apply firewall rules if AFM is installed.
dirtycacheIdeally you should manage the BIG-IP via it's management port interface, connected to a dedicated management VLAN with appropriate ACLs. Otherwise, the advice above is spot on for creating an ACL for httpd.

Note that the packet filters (Network>Packet Filters) apply only to vlan traffic not the management interface. AFM (if available) rules can be applied directly to the management interface. Or use tmsh to restrict httpd as outlined previously.
