  • Create, restore from, and manage BIG-IP archives
  • Understand and implement troubleshooting methodology to find and resolve issues
  • View resource status, availability, and statistical information and use this information to determine how the BIG-IP system is currently processing traffic
  • Use iApps to update BIG-IP configuration
  • Perform troubleshooting and problem determination activities including using the iHealth diagnostic tool, researching known issues and solutions on AskF5, submitting a problem ticket to F5 Technical Support, and view traffic flow using tcpdump
  • Understand the tools (ping, netstat, tcpdump, ssldump, WireShark, diff, Kdiff3, Fiddler, BIG-IP logs, etc.) available to use to identify BIG-IP and network issues from bottom to top
  • List log files available, understand log levels, and use the appropriate files, log levels, and filters for troubleshooting
  • Use High Speed Logging (HSL) and SNMP trap implementations to perform troubleshooting and problem determination activities
  • Describe the role of iRules in affecting traffic behavior and how to use them to aid with troubleshooting and problem determination
