NFV VIM Software Image Descriptors
The F5-BIGIP-12.1.1.0.0.184-LTM-SS1 and F5-BIGIP-12.1.1.0.0.184-ALL-SS1 snapshot records
were used to create and test the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) descriptors in this
package. See
Preparing an Image
on page 819 for image customization required to produce and use
these snapshots.
The original F5 vendor images covered by the BIGIP-12.1.1.0.0.184-LTM and BIGIP-
12.1.1.0.0.184-ALL descriptors were used to produce the workable snapshot images.

To enable either the LTM (Load Balancer) or AFM (Firewall) feature set, you must manually apply
a license to each F5 BIGIP VM.
Manually apply the license after creating the Virtualized Network Function (VNF) record and
