    Hi rg-f5 , 
    so the issue with you in loading gui. 

    you can connect to your bigip using console also you should be able to login without issues.

    if you run on Version 15.1.x or later versions ( 16.1.x , 17.x ) , you should modify managment provision to large instead of small , then restart web service by restarting ( httpd and tomcat services ) 
    I will share the steps here: 
    1- Overview of Management provisioning (f5.com) 
    set it to 500M which equal Large in gui provisioning.
    2- https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K03531511

    it should work , let me know the result

Hi rg-f5 , 

Taking ucs/backup file from F5 bigip shouldn't cause problems to your gui , so it should work normally. 

I susbect that the issue in the FQDN / DNS or the issue with reachability to F5 bigip managment interface. 

Can you ping or ssh it ? 

if you can do that , you may have an issue with gui and you need to restard web service on your bigip and this is an easy task you can do it by running some commands as described in the following article :
