Attend both the F5 Administering BIG-IP and Configuring BIG-IP LTM: Local Traffic Manager courses in the same week!
Begin the BIG-IP learning journey with Administering BIG-IP. Learn how to set up and operate the BIG-IP system as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network. Through a combination of instructor-led lecture and hands-on labs, complete initial configuration including licensing, resource provisioning, networking, high-availability (HA), and more to establish a secure system. Gain practical experience implementing traffic processing objects: pools, virtual servers, health monitors, network address translation (NATs and SNATs), and more.
Learn how to configure and manage BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network to achieve operational efficiency and maintain critical business applications. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on labs, explore features and functionality to process and modify traffic behavior using profiles, persistence, caching, compression, and source network address translation (SNAT).
Monitor application health at layers 3, 4, and 7, and implement dynamic load balancing methods. Use traffic management shell (TMSH), the Configuration utility, and Linux commands to create traffic processing and monitoring objects, observe the resulting traffic statistics, and effectively operate the BIG-IP LTM system. Customize application delivery with iRules, establish application security, and harden system security using BIG-IP LTM functionality.

Voraussetzungen
-
The following free web-based training courses, although optional, will be very helpful for any student with limited BIG-IP administration and configuration experience.
These courses are available at F5 University:
▪ Getting Started with BIG-IP
▪ Getting Started with BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) web-based training
General network technology knowledge and experience are recommended before attending any F5 Global Training Services instructor-led course, including OSI model encapsulation, routing and switching, Ethernet and ARP, TCP/IP concepts, IP addressing and subnetting, NAT and private IP addressing, NAT and private IP addressing, default gateway, network firewalls, and LAN vs. WAN.
The following course-specific knowledge and experience is suggested before attending this course:
- Web application delivery
- HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SSH protocols
- TLS/SSL
