Starting with BIG-IP 12.0.0, F5 alternates Major Releases (x.0.0) and Long-Term Stability Releases (x.1.0 onwards, as well as 17.5.x). Each release is supported during a single Standard Support phase, which begins with its first customer ship date:
- Major Releases are supported for 15 months up to and including BIG-IP 17.0.0, and for 9 months for Major Releases from BIG-IP 21.0.0 onward.
- Long-Term Stability Releases are supported for five years for versions prior to 16.1.0, four years for 16.1.0 to 17.5.x, and three years for 21.1.0 and subsequent x.1.0 releases. During that time, only the latest maintenance release (x.1.latest) receives software development.
At the end of Standard Support, a release reaches both its End of Software Development (EoSD) and End of Technical Support (EoTS) milestones, after which F5 no longer provides software fixes (hotfixes).
More information is available on the BIG-IP website.
You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
