This course gives network professionals a functional understanding of BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager, introducing students to both commonly used and advanced BIG-IP LTM features and functionality.

Incorporating lecture, extensive hands-on labs, and classroom discussion, the course helps students build the well-rounded skill set needed to manage BIG-IP LTM systems as part of a flexible and high performance application delivery network.

 

Prerequisiti

Students are required to complete one of the following F5 prerequisites before attending this course:

Administering BIG-IP instructor-led course

F5 Certified BIG-IP Administrator

The following free web-based courses, although optional, will be very helpful for any student with limited BIG-IP administration and configuration experience.

Getting Started with BIG-IP web-based training

Getting Started with BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) web-based training

The following general network technology knowledge and experience are recommended before attending any F5 Global Training Services instructor-led course:

OSI model encapsulation

Routing and switching

Ethernet and ARP

TCP/IP concepts

IP addressing and subnetting

NAT and private IP addressing

Default gateway

Network firewalls

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

 

Obiettivi

Back up the BIG-IP system configuration for safekeeping

Configure virtual servers, pools, monitors, profiles, and persistence objects

Test and verify application delivery through the BIG-IP system using local traffic statistics

Configure priority group activation on a load balancing pool to allow servers to be activated only as needed to process traffic

Compare and contrast member-based and node-based dynamic load balancing methods

Configure connection limits to place a threshold on traffic volume to particular pool members and nodes

Differentiate between SSL, SIP, universal, and destination address affinity persistence, and describe use cases for each

Describe the three Match Across Services persistence options and use cases for each

Configure health monitors to appropriately monitor application delivery through a BIG-IP system

Configure different types of virtual services to support different types of traffic processing through a BIG-IP system

Configure different types of SNATs to support routing of traffic through a BIG-IP system

Establish device trust and configure an active/standby pair in support of high availability

Configure and manage a sync-failover device group with more than two members

Configure stateful failover using connection mirroring and persistence mirroring

Configure VLAN tagging and trunking

Restrict administrative and application traffic through the BIG-IP system using packet filters, port lockdown, and virtual server settings

Configure SNMP alerts and traps in support of remote monitoring of the BIG-IP system

Use an F5-supplied iApp template to deploy and manage a website application service

Develop a simple iApp template

Use iRules and local traffic policies appropriately to customize application delivery through the BIG-IP system

 

Destinatari

This course is intended for system and network administrators responsible for installation, setup, configuration, and

  • administration of the BIG-IP LTM system.
