About virtual servers
On BIG-IP® devices, virtual servers can have security objects, such as DoS profiles or log profiles, attached to them.
BIG-IQ virtual servers only support BIG-IP device profiles from the LTM module (/ltm/profile) and from the Security DoS module (/security/dos). If a BIG-IP device is discovered with virtual servers using another type of profile, an invalid profile error may be encountered during discovery and the BIG-IP device would not be discovered by the BIG-IQ® system.

Creating virtual servers
You do not create virtual servers within Shared Security.
Instead, you create virtual servers using the ADC service and then use them from within Shared Security. Select ADC from the BIG-IQ menu and click Virtual Servers to create a virtual server.
Editing virtual servers
You can modify virtual servers within Shared Security to manage the DoS profiles and log profiles that are part of each virtual server.
Within Shared Security, only the DoS Profile and Log Profiles properties can be modified on a virtual server. To modify other virtual server properties, use the ADC service. Select ADC from the BIG-IQ menu and click Virtual Servers to modify other properties of a virtual server.
- Click Shared Security and then click Virtual Servers on the left.
