Hello, 

 

Thank you for posting to our community. I wanted to provide you with K84554955: Overview of BIG-IP system software upgrades to review before you begin your upgrade process. Also, by using our K18074701: iHealth Upgrade Advisor can help you determine the best version for you. 

With your plan to go to version 16.x please keep in mind that as of July 31, 2025 version 16.1.x will be going end of technical support (eots) K5903: BIG-IP software support policy. We do advise that you keep your software up to date within our software support policy so you may want to entertain the option of version 17.1.x if you have that as an option with your virtual edition. 

If you have additional questions beyond our upgrade resources please provide more specifics questions as this will allow our community to better assist. Alternatively, for more direct assistance on your current setup with software that is currently eots our Professional Services team may be an option as well.
