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.

• 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 cookie, 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
• 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
• Use iRules and local traffic policies appropriately to customize application delivery through the BIG-IP system
• Configure the BIG-IP to detect and mitigate some common attacks at the network and application layers using LTM features such as SYN check, eviction policies, iRules and Local Traffic Policies

This course is intended for network operators, network administrators, network engineers, network architects, security administrators, and security architects responsible for installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IP LTM system.

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. 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

The following course-specific knowledge and experience is suggested before attending this course:

• Web application delivery
• HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SSH protocols
• TLS/SSL

• 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)
• Modifying traffic behavior with profiles (including TCP profiles, advanced HTTP profile options, caching, compression, and OneConnect profiles)
• 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
• Securing application delivery using BIG-IP LTM

Major Course Changes since v13
A new chapter covering securing application delivery using LTM features (such as SYN check, eviction policies, iRules and Local Traffic Policies) is now available. The Configuring and Managing a High Availability Deployment chapter is no longer included in this class (now available in the Administering BIG-IP course).
