In this F5 LTM training, participants will gain a thorough understanding of Application Delivery Fundamentals and TMOS Administration. The course will cover key topics, including F5 product roles, F5 Certificate and Exams, load balancing, high availability configurations, security models, and advanced acceleration techniques. Participants will also gain practical experience with configuring and managing BIG-IP LTM, focusing on initial setup, traffic management, persistence, monitoring, and security. By the end of the course, they will have the skills needed to effectively administer the F5 LTM solution for optimal application delivery.

After completing this course you should be able to:

• • 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
  • 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
  • Use iRules and local traffic policies appropriately to customize application delivery through the BIG-IP system

The F5 LTM course typically spans 40 hours. This duration includes all instructional content, hands-on labs, and any additional training materials needed to fully understand and implement F5 LTM in a network environment.
