From sol13312:

bigip_add

The bigip_add script is an interactive script that exchanges iquery SSL certificates with a remote BIG-IP system. The bigip_add script appends the local BIG-IP GTM system's SSL certificate to the remote BIG-IP system's list of authorized certificates (contained in the /config/big3d/client.crt file). The script then appends the remote BIG-IP system's iquery SSL certificate to the BIG-IP GTM system's local list of authenticated iquery SSL certificates (/config/gtm/server.crt).
Protocol

The bigip_add script uses the SSH protocol to exchange iquery SSL certificates with the remote BIG-IP system.

Running the bigip_add script

The bigip_add script runs from the local BIG-IP GTM system when adding a BIG-IP system to the wide IP configuration. To run the bigip_add script, log in to the command line of the BIG-IP GTM system and type the following command:

bigip_add BIG-IP_IP_address
