Administering BIG-IP and Configuring BIG-IP LTM – Local Traffic Manager Bundle – Inhouse - Inhouse von ExperTeach Gesellschaft für Netzwerkkompetenz mbH

Attend both the F5 Administering BIG-IP and Configuring BIG-IP LTM: Local Traffic Manager courses in the same week!

This Administering BIG-IP 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.

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