On BIG-IP^® devices, virtual servers can have security objects, such as DoS profiles, SSH profiles, or log profiles, attached to them.

The BIG-IQ^® Centralized Management system can successfully discover only BIG-IP devices that are using supported profile types. If the system attempts to discover a BIG-IP device that is using an unsupported type of profile:

• You might see an invalid profile error during discovery.
• The BIG-IQ Centralized Management system does not successfully discover the BIG-IP device.

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.
