This 2-day course uses lectures and hands-on exercises to give participants real-time experience in configuring and using the BIG-IQ® product.
Students are introduced to BIG-IQ, its interface, and its various functionality.
We first look at building and configuring the BIG-IQ system. Once this initial classroom environment is built, we detail the steps to get going administering BIG-IQ, then use it to manage BIG-IP devices.
After this we examine other system configurations: setting up a BIG-IQ DCD logging device, building a BIG-IQ High Availability pair, and managing BIG-IP devices in a cluster.
Course Topics
The course is for system and network administrators responsible for the installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IQ system. Or, it can be undertaken by operators who require some knowledge of how the systems are setup, but usually concentrate on performing particular operational tasks whether on BIG-IQ or via BIG-IQ on the managed BIG-IP devices.
BIG-IQ manages BIG-IP devices and its associated products so you need to be familiar with BIG-IP as well as having knowledge and experience of general network technology.
For BIG-IP, students should have already completed a BIG-IP based training course such as the Administering BIG-IP instructor-led course or further courses.
Free web-based training courses are available on the LearnF5 training hub (
https://www.f5.com/services/training) that are helpful for any student with limited BIG-IP administration and configuration experience.
The following general network technology knowledge and experience are recommended before attending any F5 Global Training Services instructor-led course:
