Hi,
There is a difference between a Base license and a Max license, but I have looked at the F5 price list and there is no Max SSL, Max Compression license for the i2600 listed.
There is a Max license for the i2800 and looking at the data sheet of the ixxxx appliances, the Max license is only available if the appliance is doing Hardware Compression. If there is no hardware compression, only Base is listed in the price list. So it looks like F5 is not offering Max license on non-Hardware Compression appliances.
Another example:
i5600 no Hardware Compression, so only Base license.
i5800 Hardware Compression, so Max license.
Article https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K55590970 shows the i2600 is the replacement of the 2000s.
Maybe you can check compression with:
show /sys license detail | grep perf_http_compression_Mbps
Regards,
Martijn
