ok, it might have been wiser to explain all that to start with.

i just tried what you described and for me it works. i edited the /config/bigip_base.conf file for the IP shown on ipconfig -a. do remember you might need to edit it twice if you use the IP also as name:

net self /Common/10.3.26.8 { <-- **here**
    address 10.3.26.8/24 <-- **here**
    allow-service none
    traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only
    vlan /Common/ha
}

after a tmsh load sys config the ip address shown on ipconfig -a was different. it wasn't the one i changed it to but one of the other IPs i have on that interface. keep that in mind also, if you have multiple IPs on an interface / vlan ifconfig -a will just show one.
