Advance Firewall Manager at Viprion 2400

I'd suggest you speak to your F5 VAR, partner, reseller or whomever is most appropriate. What you're asking for is probably time consuming and a bit like consultancy. Technically however;

1: There is a huge amount of documentation and various guides here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip-afm/versions.11-4-0.html

2: AFM isn't an IDS/IPS

3: Refer to 1

4: Yes, see here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/000/sol14088.html?sr=31946042

Zeeshan, I would recommend going to 11.4 for AFM as there are several advantages especially on a VIPRION platform with AFM. We have used Ixia / Breaking Points to showcase DDOS prevention and throughput. With the exception of the IDS / IPS, we can do that no problem.
