This course gives network professionals a functional understanding of BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM), introducing students to both commonly used and advanced LTM features. 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.
Topics covered in this course (V12.0) include:
v12.0 COURSE OUTLINE
Chapter 1: Setting Up the BIG-IP System
Chapter 2: Reviewing Local Traffic Configuration
Chapter 3: Load Balancing Traffic with LTM
Chapter 4: Modifying Traffic Behavior with Persistence
Chapter 5: Monitoring Application Health
Chapter 6: Processing Traffic with Virtual Servers
Chapter 7: Processing Traffic with SNATs
Chapter 8: Configuring High Availability
Chapter 9: Configuring High Availability Part 2
Chapter 10: Modifying Traffic with Profiles
Chapter 11: Selected Topics
Chapter 12: Deploying Application Services with iApps
Chapter 13: Customizing Application Delivery with iRules and Local Traffic Policies
Chapter 14: Final Lab Project
Chapter 15: Additional Training and Certification
By the end of this course, the student should be able to use both the Configuration utility, TMSH, and Linux commands to configure and manage BIG-IP LTM systems in an application delivery network. In addition, students should be able to monitor the BIG-IP system to achieve operational efficiency, and establish and maintain high availability infrastructure for critical business applications.
● BIG-IP initial setup (licensing, provisioning, and network configuration) A review of BIG-IP local traffic configuration objects
● Using dynamic load balancing methods Modifying traffic behavior with persistence (including SSL, SIP, universal, and destination address affinity persistence)
● Monitoring application health with Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 monitors (including transparent, scripted, and external monitors)
● Processing traffic with virtual servers (including network, forwarding, and reject virtual servers) Processing traffic with SNATs (including SNAT pools and SNATs as listeners)
● Advanced BIG-IP LTM configuration options (including VLAN tagging and trunking, SNMP features, packet filters, and route domains)
Deploying application services with iApps Customizing application delivery with iRules and local traffic policies
Students must complete one of the following F5 prerequisites before attending this course: Administering BIG-IP instructor-led course F5 Certified BIG-IP Administrator The following 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
