HA with different platform

Can I do HA pair between BIGIP 3600 and BIGIP 2000/4000 by using firmware v.11.4.1 ?

 

Is it have un-support feature like fips, compression card, etc and make the whole system not working correctly?

 

Thank you

    "Devices in a device group must match as closely as possible with respect to product licensing and module provisioning. Heterogeneous hardware platforms within a device group are supported."

  • F5 support talk to me

     

    "At the very most, you can failover between two different platform types, but that would be it. They can't sync, mirror, or anything else. There is no support for different platform types being set up as a pair."

     

    Is this really supported?

    i believe it is supported.

     

    They can't sync, mirror, or anything else.

     

    configsync should work. it makes sense that connection mirroring may not work since platform is different.
