F5 - Configuring BIG-IQ

Course Duration

2 Days

Target Audience

This course is intended for system and network administrators who are responsible for the installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IQ system. It is also suitable for operators who require a foundational understanding of how the systems are set up but primarily focus on performing specific operational tasks, either on BIG-IQ or through BIG-IQ on the managed BIG-IP devices. Whether you are a system administrator looking to gain expertise in managing BIG-IQ or an operator needing to perform operational tasks, this course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively deploy and administer the BIG-IQ system.

Prerequisites

BIG-IQ manages BIG-IP devices and its associated products so you need to be familiar with BIG-IP as well as having knowledge and experience of general network technology. For BIG-IP, students should have already completed a BIG-IP based training course such as the Administering BIG-IP instructor-led course or further courses.

Course Overview

The course is for system and network administrators responsible for the installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IQ system. Or, it can be undertaken by operators who require some knowledge of how the systems are setup, but usually concentrate on performing particular operational tasks whether on BIG-IQ or via BIG-IQ on the managed BIG-IP devices.
