Device Certificate - Hostname vs Device Name

Does the hostname of an F5 LTM relate to device certificate in any way? I need to obtain a CA signed certificate for the web admin gui.

 

If my F5 device name is ltm1.F5.com and the hostname is different, for example LTM001, I can request a cert for ltm1.f5.com? and that will work ok when typing https://ltm1.f5.com in the browser or should the hostname match the device name.

 

Thanks
