IPSec VPN Client to Big-IP?

Can I establish a VPN connection from an IPSec client (in this case an Avaya phone) to a Big-IP?

 

The Avaya phone has a built-in IPSec client so I believe this would be the equivalent of connecting to Big-IP using an IPSec VPN client on a workstation. After the VPN tunnel is established, the device (or workstation) needs to be assigned an IP address similar to the way an Edge Client connection is provided an IP address from a leasepool. I presume you cannot connect to Big-IP from ANY IPSec VPN client but I need to confirm.

 

(Just to be clear, I am not asking about establishing a IPSec tunnel between Big-IP and another device such as a router or FW - that is well documented. I am asking about IPSec VPN client to Big-IP.)

 

Thanks.
