  • It is used to verify data integrity of the iso.

     

    F5 has calculated the md5 hash and placed the hash on the download site so you can verify the hash after downloading the iso.

     

    On the cli check if the hash of the iso is the same as the hash on the download site with md5sum

     

    This article K8337 explains it in detail.

     

    Cheers,
