Provisioning AWAF

Hey everyone!

So I'm new to AWAF and figured I'd lab a bit with it to check out the additional features. I have generated a StrongBox license that includes it and added it to my BIG-IP VE running 13.1.1.2. However, I cannot see it under my resource provisioning page.

Now I'm thinking it is included in a separate module like for instance ASM but I'm not sure at all. There should be a difference between ASM and AWAF so I believe they should be run in two separate modules.

Do you guys have any idea? Been googling like crazy but coming up short.

Hi Philip,

Please see the below link K14810: Overview of BIG-IP VE license and throughput limits

under Licensing and provisioning restrictions, there is table explaining the option modules we could adopt in single VE.

As I look into the table we could include AWAF and ASM option is mentioned as "Y"

Thanks, Hari

Philip,

Had a demo of AWAF a few weeks ago. I can confirm that the provisioned module is still ASM.

Hope this helps,
