- If you plan to use the BIG-IQ only as a license server, refer toLicense Managementin theManaging BIG-IP Devices from BIG-IQguide onsupport.f5.com.
- If you plan to use the BIG-IQ to manage devices, the BIG-IQ needs to discover those devices. To learn about how to do that, refer toHow do I start managing BIG-IP devices from BIG-IQ?in theManaging BIG-IP Devices from BIG-IQguide onsupport.f5.com.
