Hello Yarosalv Malookiy,

Yes indeed, you have certain limitation without a LTM licence on your F5 BIG-IP.

From memory, you can use only 3 Pools and 2 Load Balancing algorithm are available (Ratio/Round Robin).

Hello Yaroslav,

I want to add small clarification about it.

ASM module can be provisioned with 2 licenses - ASM license (old one) and AWAF license (new one).

In case of ASM license you will have all these restrictions, which are described above, but with AWAF license you won't have them.

Thanks, Ivan

Like Ivan said, in Standard ASM license there's the limitations I've indicated above.
