CirrocumulusHi F5_Design_Engineer Aswin_mk Thanks for the detailed info ....
I just want to understand if we really need to renew this Device certificate ?
In our infra I have seen all of our F5 devices have expired device certificate ..
Since we are accessing the device with IP address instead of Hostname ? That could be the reason ?
you will get a certificate error when you use an IP address only for MGMT access not using FQDN name.
Its your choice how you access your devices in your environment.
With IP or with FQDN then you need a valid device certificate not to get the cert error, else it ill keep giving cert expired error at the time of device access.
