It is possible. You basically just present the whole trunk to the BIG-IP and add VLANs as you would in a normal hardware device.

 

There were a few bugs in older versions since not a lot of people were using it. I don't know if 11.6.3 was one of them, but it'd probably be a good idea to get to a v12 or v13 before trunking if possible. Ask your SE if they can look up if there's any bugs for the version you're on.
