CirrostratusHi,
Have you tries to configure an IP-address?
If you must configure a hostname, the BIG-IP will look-up this hostname using the configured DNS servers. If you are the administrator of these DNS servers, just put an entry there for the hostname.
If you are not the administrator of these DNS servers, just add a static host entry on the BIG-IP.
System -> Configuration -> Device -> Hosts

CirrostratusHi Venkata,
Go to System -> Configuration -> Device -> Hosts and add a static host(name) with the IP-address of your proxy server. You say your proxy server does not have a hostname, so you can use any host name you want. For example my.proxy.local.
Then follow the procedure in article K8217 with the following line:
modify /sys db proxy.host value my.proxy.local
When a signature update is needed, BIG-IP gets the IP-address of my.proxy.local from the local hostfile.
You can also add the host my.proxy.local to the DNS server the BIG-IP uses for resolving. But you need to be the DNS administrator.
