What is the update / upgrade path
Can I go from version 11 to 12 directly or must I do it incremental? Can I go from version 11 directly to 13 or must this also be incremental?

When planning for an upgrade to BIG-IP 13.x, F5 recommends that you reference the following prerequisites and related information:
You must be running BIG-IP 11.x through 13.x to upgrade to BIG-IP 13.x.
You can only upgrade directly to point release versions if you are running BIG-IP 11.5.0 or later. You cannot directly upgrade from versions prior to BIG-IP 11.5.0, such as BIG-IP 11.2.x and BIG-IP 11.4.x, to any point release version, such as BIG-IP 13.1.0.1. If you are running a version prior to BIG-IP 11.5.0, you must first upgrade to BIG-IP 11.5.0 or a later version that is not a point release version.
For installation instructions and information about upgrading to BIG-IP 13.x software, refer to the following documentation:
