About virtual servers in Web Application
Security
Web Application Security displays virtual servers for each discovered BIG-IP device, and enables you to view the properties
for these virtual servers and manage the policies attached to them.
For each BIG-IP device discovered, Web Application Security creates an
extra virtual server named
inactive
to hold all policies not related to any virtual server in the discovered device. This virtual
server has an IP address expressed as dashes (----
) in the virtual server list. Security policies that are not attached to any virtual servers on the
BIG-IP device are assigned to this virtual server. Policies created or modified on the BIG-IQ
system and attached to this inactive virtual server will be deployed to the associated BIG-IP
device without attaching it to any other virtual server. This is the only virtual server that
is allowed to have multiple policies assigned to it.
