This course gives network professionals a functional understanding of BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) by
introducing students to both commonly used and advanced LTM features. Incorporating lecture, extensive hands-
on labs, and classroom discussion, the course helps you build the well-rounded skill set needed to manage BIG-
IP LTM systems as part of a flexible and high performance application delivery network.

Skills Gained

• 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)

• Configuring high availability (including active/standby and N+1 sync failover device groups, connection and

persistence mirroring, and sync-only device groups)

• Modifying traffic behavior with profiles (including advanced HTTP profile options, caching, compression, and

OneConnect profiles)

• Advanced BIG-IP LTM configuration options (including VLAN tagging and trunking, SNMP features, and packet

filters)

• Deploying application services with iApps

• Customizing application delivery with iRules and local traffic policies

Who Can Benefit

Network operators, network administrators, network engineers, network architects, security administrators, and
security architects responsible for installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IP LTM system.
