If checked the network connection and DNS is correctly setup on the F5 BIG-IQ and maybe looked at the bug tracker ,upload qkview to ihealth and see and check your big-iq release notes https://support.f5.com/csp/bug-tracker / https://techdocs.f5.com/en-us/bigiq-8-2-0/release-notes-big-iq_1/chapter-title-rel-note-fixes-known-issues_1.html as if your BIG-IQ is not the latest version it could be a solved bug, then you may try support.
