NimbostratusWAF License and Deployement
I am new at F5 and I m going to implement F5 WAF only. Before the question, excuse me if I write inadmissible thoughts)
So I d like to know Which licenses do I need to activate WAF? Besides it, af...
Hi Hikmat,
The F5 WAF, or ASM, as they like to call it, can be purchased either as a standalone or as part of the "Best" license.
You don't need any other license to operate the Big-IP as a reverse-proxy; it will serve as a full or half proxy based on network configuration, not licensing.
In order to perform https-to-https redirection, or ssl bridging, you would just need to apply an http profile, and two different ssl profiles, a client ssl profile and a server ssl profile.
That being said, it would probably be best to speak with a sales engineer before making a purchasing decision. They can take a look at your network needs and help find the right product for you.
Best of luck,
Austin

NimbostratusThank you for great explanation. Sure, It will be talked with sales engineer before making decision.But I`ve installed virtual appliance and earlier that buying it, I intend to trial it. Then I should prepare for ASM module and LTM. Thank you a lot!
