Software version upgrade for F5 LTM (4000s)

Hi All,

 

We have a F5 LTM (4000s) running on 11.4.0 for last 5 years. Please suggest the latest stable version to which these devices can be upgraded.

 

I have checked for Version 13.x.x but they are vulnerable to many issues. 14.x.x is quite new. I am not facing any issue with current software version though.

 

Please suggest.

 

Thanks in advance Aman

      Thanks Raghavendra. I have one more doubt regarding point release version. Can I upgrade directly to 13.1.4 from 11.4.0 & 11.2.1 ?

       

      You can upgrade directly to point-release versions only if you are running BIG-IP 11.5.0 or later. You cannot upgrade directly from versions earlier than BIG-IP 11.5.0, such as BIG-IP 11.2.x or BIG-IP 11.4.x, to any point release version, such as BIG-IP 13.1.0.1. If you are running a version earlier than BIG-IP 11.5.0, you must first upgrade to BIG-IP 11.5.0 or a later version that is not a point-release version.
