Attack signatures, security policies and NAT vs Virtual Servers
The main traffic-carrying element on a BIG-IP is a Virtual Server. The name may be a little misleading, as it simply a traffic listener, usually consisted of an IP and port, to which you attach all sorts of properties - like the real server(s) you wish to send traffic too, the SSL cert clients that access that virtual server will see, NAT rules, HTTP caching options and more, including a Web Application policy.
As you grow more familiar with BIG-IP concepts, all will be made very clear.
You should try http://university.f5.com for some the the "essentials" courses there (free of charge, and publicly accessible) - which will get you through all that.
Good luck!
