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 BIG-IP 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.

• Describe the role of the BIG-IP system as a full proxy device in an application delivery network
• Set up, start/restart/stop, license, and provision the BIG-IP system out-of-the-box
• Create a basic network configuration on the BIG-IP 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 BIG-IP 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

This course is intended for network administrators, operators, and engineers responsible for managing the normal day-to-day operation and administration of a BIG-IP application delivery network. This course presents the prerequisite knowledge for many other of F5’s BIG-IP instructor-led training courses.

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 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

• Getting started with the BIG-IP system
• Traffic processing with BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM)
• Using TMSH (TMOS Shell) command line interface
• Using NATs and SNATs
• Monitoring application health and managing object status
• Modifying traffic behavior with profiles, including SSL offload and re-encryption
• Modifying traffic behavior with persistence, including source address affinity and cookie persistence
• Troubleshooting the BIG-IP system, including logging (local, high-speed, and legacy remote  logging), and using TCPDUMP
• User roles and administrative partitions
• vCMP concepts
• Configuring high availability (including active/standby and connection and persistence mirroring)

Major Course Changes since v13

• Default admin/root accounts passwords are now expired by default on new installations. A discussion on this change of behavior is now available, and labs have been updated accordingly.
• The Cookie persistence section and labs are no longer included in this course. This content has been moved to the Configuring LTM curriculum.
• A new chapter, Configuring and Managing a High Availability Environment (formerly in the Configuring LTM class) is now included in this course.
• The iRules chapter has been removed from this course.
