Use a CSV file to add BIG-IP devices, and discover and import their services
Before you can add BIG-IP devices to BIG-IQ, keep these things in mind:
You cannot add multiple BIG-IP devices with SSLO services. You must add those BIG-IP devices individually. After you import a BIG-IP device with SSLO services, make future configuration changes only from BIG-IQ. If you make a change to the SSLO service configuration directly on the BIG-IP device, you cannot re-discover or re-import that device.
- At the top of the screen, clickDevices.
- On the left, clickBIG-IP DEVICES.
- Click theAdd Device(s)button.
- For the Discovery Type setting, selectAdd BIG-IP device(s) and discover and import services in one step.
- To create a snapshot of the BIG-IQ configuration before importing services, select theSnapshotcheck box.Clear this check box if you are adding devices that are in an access group you just created. If you don't, BIG-IQ won't be able to add the device(s).

- To ignore conflicts for objects shared between BIG-IQ and the BIG-IP device(s) you're adding, leave theConflict Resolutioncheck box selected.This allows you to continue to import services that have no conflicts, and fix the conflicts individually later, from the screen, to complete the import process for those services.
