We will cover the following course topics:
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)
Customizing application delivery with iRules and local traffic policies
Securing application delivery using BIG-IP LTM
