Hello,

 

iControl REST is always "in-use" and enabled by default on the BIG-IP system. Please use below KB to find more details:

How to determine if a BIG-IP system is using iControl REST (f5.com)

 

If any self IPs are not accessible via API access, please check the port lockdown settings in interfaces. (port 443(https)/8443(rest API) need to be open in interfaces). For port lockdown understanding you can use below KBs:
