Anticipation for the next tutorial in the series
Transcripts
hello everyone welcome to my YouTube
channel no Networks
in this tutorial we are going to start
F5 big IP series
so guys F5 big IB is having multiple
modules like a local traffic manager or
LTM Global traffic manager access policy
manager Advanced firewall manager
application acceleration Manager
application security manager link
controller
in this series we are going to cover big
IP local traffic manager the first one
LTM
and once we complete with the series
then one by one we will be looking after
the other modules as well
so under the LTM we will be covering all
those topics we will discuss what is
load balancer then we will be doing
installation of FY big-ip on VMware
where you will enjoy the Hands-On lab
practices as usual
we will set up the F5 big IP in our
virtual environment we will see what is
server load balancing what are the load
balancing methods Health monitoring in
F5 big IP what is persistence
uh persistence using HTTP cookies
persisting using Source IP
SL processing F5 big-ipi rules F5 big-ip
High availability
and
this will be a lab topology where we
will be having a big IP in installed in
our VMware we will be having an
actionable interface with the IP address
172.16.1.100 followed by a virtual IP
for Server pool
172.16.1.150 and
we will be having a one machine on the
external side which IP address will be
172.16.1.15 with the default gateway as
an interface IP of the big IP on the
internal side we will be having a
10.1.1.0 network where the internal Port
IP address will be 10.1.1.100 followed
by a three servers which will be our web
servers and the IP addresses will be
10.1.1.10.15 and Dot 20 respectively
uh maybe some points over here will be a
bit confusing or you won't be
understanding you don't have to worry as
we will be proceeding to the coming
tutorials I will be explaining each and
everything like what is the external
facing uh well in the FI big ipltm what
is the internal facing what is a virtual
IP used for Server pools and each and
every terminology we will be
understanding in detail so that's all
