Course Prerequisites

Certainly! Here are the minimum required prerequisites for successfully undertaking the F5 Administering BIG-IP course:


  • Basic understanding of networking concepts, including the OSI model, routing, and switching.
  • Knowledge of common network protocols (such as TCP/IP) and their operation.
  • Familiarity with basic concepts of application delivery (such as client-server communication, web applications).
  • General understanding of network security concepts (such as firewalls, network access control).
  • Basic operational command line interface (CLI) experience, including SSH access to network devices.
  • Ability to read and understand IP addressing and subnetting.
  • Some experience with network troubleshooting tools (ping, traceroute, etc.).
  • Fundamental administrative knowledge of computer systems and operating systems, especially Linux or Unix-like systems.

These prerequisites are designed to ensure that students have an adequate foundation upon which to build their understanding of the BIG-IP system through the course material. Without these foundational skills, it may be challenging to grasp the more advanced concepts presented in the training. However, motivated students with a willingness to learn and a commitment to expanding their IT knowledge can successfully complete the course with these prerequisites as a starting point.
