r4800
F5 rSeries r4800 — BIG-IP application delivery controller on the r4000 hardware platform; the same physical box as the r4600 with a higher PAYG licence. 1U, 4x 10G/1G RJ45 + 4x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 (one port group, three mutually exclusive modes). 16 CPUs unlocked for tenancy, up to 4 BIG-IP tenants, 50 Gbps L4 / 40 Gbps L7, hardware compression.
F5 rSeries r4000 Series
Positioning
Inherited from the F5 rSeries r4000 Series family — positioning is family-scoped in the graph
F5's entry x86-class rSeries application delivery controller — one 1U appliance sold as two licensed models, r4600 and r4800, which differ only in unlocked CPUs, BIG-IP tenant ceiling, throughput and compression path. 4x 10G/1G RJ45 plus 4x 25G/10G/1G SFP28 in a single port group with three mutually exclusive speed modes. No FPGA, no hardware DDoS engine and no NEBS Level 3 listing on this platform — those belong to the r5000/r10000/r12000 rungs. The BIG-IP module entitlement is fused into the appliance part number: there is no bare hardware SKU and no separate base-licence SKU.

Orderable part numbers
How this platform is bought: the part numbers the vendor's order desk accepts
- F5-BIG-AFM-R4800F5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-APM-R4800-BF5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (Base) — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-APM-R4800-MF5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (Max) — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-AWF-R4800F5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Advanced WAF — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-BT-R4800F5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Best Bundle — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-DNS-R4800F5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP DNS — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
- F5-BIG-LTM-R4800F5 rSeries r4800 with BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager — the orderable appliance part number. F5 publishes no bare hardware SKU: the module entitlement is fused into the PN, so this is a spelling of the r4800, not a separate product.
