F5 ASM System requirements

[Edouard]

Good morning Gents,

I have a F5 Infrastructure running with LTM/APM/AFM and we would like to add there ASM.

Could you please advise the system requirements to have those 4 modules in an instance.

Thanks,

Edouard.

Hi @Edouard,

do you have an F5 device? or VE machine?

In the case of a VE please refer to this link:

Hi Sebastian, I have a vCMP guest running with LTM and need to add there ASM. How much resources do I have to add to the guest so it can now support LTM and ASM. Thanks.

Hi @Edouard,

 It gonna depend on the device you have VCMP, the minimum requirement will be 2 CPU for the guest of LTM+ASM, but if you process a lot of traffic the most recommended will be 4 CPUs, in some cases, you have to dedicate all resources of the device to ASM+LTM depending of the number of webs you want to protect, type of traffic for the webs, type of protection you enabled, etc, etc.
