About this course
This is the starting point for the BIG-IP curriculum and the prerequisite knowledge base for most of the module-specific courses. It covers bringing a BIG-IP system online and running it as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network: initial setup and licensing, resource provisioning, networking, and high availability. Students work hands-on with the core traffic-processing objects, pools, virtual servers, health monitors, and address translation, and learn to shape traffic behavior with profiles and persistence, using both the configuration utility and the TMOS shell. Basic troubleshooting, including the iHealth diagnostic tool, rounds out the operational picture.
The prerequisite course for most other F5 BIG-IP training.
