    Hi All,

    Let's give a quick update regarding my issue for anybody that runs into the same issue. 

    My license was renewed so I could create a TAC case for my issue. TAC rebuild my system in their lab and found a DB value that was still enabled after deprovisioning AFM. See https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K16849 for more information.

    Running the following command solved my issue: # tmsh modify /sys db tm.fw.defaultaction value accept

    I'm still looking for information why I haven't found any log entries regarding this setting/dropped traffic.

    Thanks all for your input.

Hi,

Did you check the CPU,RAM required for new modules (vCPU,RAM).

    Hi, 

    CPU and RAM seems to be okay. I've got 8vcpu's and 64GB of ram. I would be surprised if the F5 needs more for only 1 vip in a lab environment with about no traffic passing. I did check some memory related logs like OOM but I could not find any.
