F5 Administering BIG-IP v11x

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description

In this course, you will gain a functional understanding of the BIG-IP v11x system as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network. You will be introduced 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.

Audience

Network administrators, operators, and engineers responsible for managing the normal day-to-day operation of a BIG-IP application delivery network

Prerequisites

An understanding of TCP/IP addressing and routing including:

The address resolution protocol
Direct and indirect routing
TCP handshakes
Common elements of and differences between WAN and LAN components

Learning Objectives

Start/restart, license, and provision the BIG-IP system
Use the configuration utility and TMOS Shell (tmsh) to manage BIG-IP resources such as virtual servers, pools, pool members, nodes, profiles, and monitors
Create, restore from, and manage BIG-IP archives
View resource status, availability, and statistical information and use this information to determine how the BIG-IP system is currently processing traffic
Perform basic troubleshooting and problem determination activities including using the iHealth diagnostic tool, researching known issues and solutions on AskF5, submitting a problem ticket to F5 Technical Support, and viewing traffic flow using tcpdump
Manage user roles and partitions
Operate two or more BIG-IPs as part of an N+1 high-availability configuration
Use an iApp to deploy an application service

Certified Ethical Hacker v9

If you’re concerned about the integrity of your network’s infrastructure, this course will teach you the ethical hacking tools and techniques needed to enhance your network’s defenses. You’ll begin by learning how perimeter defenses work. By scanning and attacking your own network (no real networks will be harmed), you’ll also learn how intruders operate and the steps to secure a system.

In the interactive, lab-filled environment of this ethical hacking course, you will gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience with current, essential security systems. You will explore common ethical hacking topics, such as intrusion detection, policy creation, social engineering, DDoS attacks, buffer overflows, and virus creation.

IBM Security QRadar Advanced Topics

In this course, you will learn how to minimize the time gap between when a suspicious activity occurs and when you detect it with the use of IBM Security QRadar. Attacks and policy violations leave their footprints in log events and network flows of your IT systems. To connect the dots, QRadarï¿½s security information and event management (SIEM) correlates these scattered events and flows into offenses that alert you to suspicious activities. Using the skills taught in this course, you will be able to configure processing of uncommon events, work with reference data, and develop custom rules.
