As El_Jefe said, serial port access would be the simplest way to connect to the BIG-IP if you don't know the IP address(es) it's configured for.

 

 

If that's not possible, you can run Wireshark on your laptop listening on the interface you've connected to the BIG-IP. Look for traffic sourced from a 00:01:D7 MAC address and get the corresponding IP address.
