Why each option
The BIG-IP 3900 supports both module and standalone ASM deployments, while the 6800 supports only the standalone version.
The 3900 does not have more ports than the 6800; the 6800 is a higher-tier platform with a greater number of physical interfaces.
The 3900 and 6800 do not have the same number of ports - they are different hardware tiers with differing interface counts.
Both platforms do not equally support both deployment modes; the 6800 is restricted to the standalone version of BIG-IP ASM.
The BIG-IP 3900 hardware platform is capable of running ASM as a module alongside other BIG-IP modules or as a dedicated standalone appliance, giving it deployment flexibility. The 6800 platform, by contrast, is limited to the standalone version of BIG-IP ASM and cannot run it in module mode alongside other BIG-IP services.
