CirrusHello Marieme
Do I need to create involved dedicated vlan of applications published?
Well this depends on how your network design looks. You can use the BIG-IP in a One-arm mode where your traffic will work in the following way:
Incoming Traffic
-> [Firewall] -> [BIG-IP] -> [Firewall] -> [Servers]
Return Traffic
-> [Servers] -> [Firewall] -> [BIG-IP] -> [Firewall]
In this case you are forced to use SNAT in order to translate the source IP address to one that is owned by the BIG-IP device.
So no, you're not forced to create additional VLANs and have the pool members directly attached to the BIG-IP.
How can I create specific partition on my BIG IP VE?

Also how can i configure HA for my cluster devices?

I hope this helps! :)
