About the configuration, I try to load SCF file from my box into my virtual BIGIP v11.5.2 to check whether this configuration is compatible or not. Unfortunately my 11.5.2 VM reject to load SCF from v10.2.4. It says "Syntax Erros". So i think it maybe because of a different SCF file format.

i understand you have to use ucs instead of scf (i.e. load 10.x ucs to 11.x box).

when loading, you may also use no-license and no-platform-check options.

root@(B7200-R78-S18)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) load sys ucs test.ucs ?
Options:
  include-chassis-level-config  Include chassis level configuration that is shared among boot volume sets.
  no-license                    This option mostly is for RMA use. It loads full configuration from a UCS file except license file.
  no-platform-check             Bypass platform check.
  passphrase                    Passphrase for (un)encrypting UCS.
