How to: Disable the WAF module for a managed BIG-IP Next instance

When a managed BIG-IP Next instance is licensed for the Web Application Firewall (WAF) module, the module is enabled by default. If you would like to reduce the amount of resources dedicated to WAF, you can disable the WAF module.

Note: Review the impact of disabling and re-enabling a WAF module on an instance.

Procedure

1. Log in to BIG-IP Next Central Manager as admin, click the Workspace icon next to the F5 logo, and click Infrastructure.

2. Click the name of BIG-IP Next instance you want to disable WAF for.

3. On the left, select Provision.
   The Provisioning screen opens.

4. Deselect the Enable WAF on this instance option.

Result

WAF is now disabled for this BIG-IP Next instance.
