F5 - Administering BIG-IP v11 (Live Virtual Class)

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

This course gives network administrators, network operators, and network engineers a functional understanding of the BIG-IP system as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network.

The course introduces students to the BIG-IP system, its configuration objects, how it processes traffic, and how typical administrative and operational activities are performed. The course includes lecture, hands-on labs, interactive demonstrations, and discussions.
