You can, although it's generally not advised as you will be reliant on a production network to provide HA traffic. F5 recommendation is to have a separate HA and Mirroring VLAN, Mirroring can also generate lots of traffic so always best to keep this on a dedicated network.

 

Sometimes this isn't possible but it's a recommended approach.
