About resource provisioning
You can manage the provisioning of system memory, disk space, and CPU usage among licensed modules on the BIG-IP® system.
There are four available resource allocation settings for modules.
- None/Disabled
- Specifies that a module is not provisioned. A module that is not provisioned does not run.
- Dedicated
- Specifies that the system allocates all CPU, memory, and disk resources to one module. When you select this option, the system sets all other modules to None (Disabled).
- Nominal
- Specifies that, when first enabled, a module gets the least amount of resources required. Then, after all modules are enabled, the module gets additional resources from the portion of remaining resources.
- Minimum
- Specifies that when the module is enabled, it gets the least amount of resources required. No additional resources are ever allocated to the module.
Provisioning the BIG-IP system using the Configuration utility
- On the Main tab, click .
- For licensed modules, select either Minimum or Nominal, as needed.
- Click Submit.
-
Reboot the system:
- On the Main tab, click .
- Click Reboot.

About FPGA firmware selection
Some BIG-IP® systems support configuring the type of FPGA firmware that is enabled. You can choose from these types, depending on the hardware platform and provisioned modules.
- L7L4_BALANCED_FPGA
- Suitable for all uses.
- L4_PERFORMANCE_FPGA
- Suitable for CGNAT standalone
and BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager™
(LTM®) L4-centric deployments.
Important: Changing the firmware type when using a multi-blade VIPRION® C2400 chassis is not recommended, as you might not get the expected scalable performance.
Selecting an FPGA firmware type
- On the Main tab, click .
- For the FPGA Firmware Selection setting, select the check box for the FPGA firmware type that you would like to use.
- Click Submit.
