F5® TurboFlex Profiles
TurboFlex Profiles are groupings of hardware-accelerated (FPGA) features that are associated with a specific use case. TurboFlex Profiles are groupings of hardware-accelerated features that are dependent on module licensing. If
BIG-IP
LTM is licensed and provisioned, then the ADC profile is available. If
BIG-IP
AFM is licensed and provisioned, then the Security profile is available. TurboFlex Profiles are supported only in platforms running a high performance license (x800). Also, TurboFlex Profile availability varies depending on the platform series tier. For more information, see
F5 Platforms: TurboFlex Profiles
