Hi,
you can use a UCS file to fully import the configuration, including all IP addresses (i.e. Management). Be aware that you will have IP address conflicts if the new BIG-IP will be already connected to all VLANs during the restore of the UCS. Make sure to not import the old license file during the restore of the UCS (option "no-license").
If you need to assign new IP addresses, you need to use SCF. This will output a flat text file, which may be changed according to your needs. This may also be used to change object names, if you want to cleanup you naming scheme.
There is a third method, using the "F5 BIG-IP Migration Assistant" (https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/welcome-to-the-f5-big-ip-migration-assistant-29191). Unfortunately it's no longer developed. But you can still use it, for version migrations up to 13.1.0.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, svs
