training administrate of BIG-IP platform

This course gives network administrators, network operators, and network engineers a functional understanding of the BIG-IP system as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network. The course introduces students to the this system, its configuration objects, how it processes traffic, and how typical administrative and operational activities are performed. The course includes lecture, hands-on labs, interactive demonstrations, and discussions.

Course Objectives

• Describe the role of this system as a full proxy device in an application delivery network
• Set up, start/restart/stop, license, and provision this system out-of-the-box
• Create a basic network configuration on this system including VLANs and self IPs
• Use the Configuration utility and TMSH to manage BIG-IP resources such as virtual servers, pools, pool members, nodes, profiles, and monitors
• Create, restore from, and manage it`s archives
• View resource status, availability, and statistical information and use this information to determine how the BIG-IP system is currently processing traffic
• Use profiles to manipulate the way the BIG-IP system processes traffic through a virtual server
• Perform basic troubleshooting and problem determination activities including using the iHealth diagnostic tool
• Support, and view traffic flow using TCPDUMP
• Understand and manage user roles and partitions
• Configure and manage a sync-failover device group with more than two members
• Configure stateful failover using connection mirroring and persistence mirroring
