In this course, we will cover the following topics:
F5 Common Design Topologies
Inline ( Two-Arm)
One Arm ( One VLAN or link)
One Arm ( Two VLANs or 2 Links)
Sandwich
Comparation of pros and cons among these topologies and their use cases
F5 Deployment
Requirements: Cabling design, VLANs, IP Address scheme allocation and Common services details
Initial setup: Licensing, resource provisioning, Implement network, interfaces and configure Common services like DNS, NTP, Syslog, SNMP for monitoring
Routing: requirement of routing for client facing, server facing and inline network.
Applications Configuration
Configure Nodes, different type of health monitors to appropriately monitor applications,
Configure Pools and pool members for different services,
Apply Load Balancing methods and verify its function via end user application access,
Configure different VIPs for applications,
Automap (NAT) use cases,
Import SSL/TLS certificates and configure SSL/TLS profiles,
Configure iRules to redirect application from non-secure access to secured access
Management and Monitor
Monitor System performance including CPU usage, Memory utilization, Active connection, connection rate and throughput
View Logs to identify administrator’s activities as well as application events
Nodes, Pools, VIPs status and Statistics
Configure Backup of system and Restore backup configuration
Demonstrate of System Upgrade the platform to a new version and Rollback to previous version
Design HA Active/Standby cluster
Configure ConfigSync, Failover network, Mirroring
Verify configuration synced between active and standby
