The F5 Access app from F5 Networks secures and accelerates macOS device access to enterprise networks and applications using SSL VPN and optimization technologies. F5 Access for macOS provides Layer 3 network access for the BIG-IP APM module. The F5 Access for macOS application is not a replacement for existing Edge Client. If you select yes, APM updates the BIG-IP Edge Client software automatically on the Mac client when newer versions are available. From the left pane, select Server List.
