F5 i5800 Deployment

Hi Muhammad,

You'll also need ASM in addition to LTM & AFM. LTM = LB, AFM = L3/L4 FW, ASM = L7 FW.

Here's where the deployment guides can be found: https://support.f5.com/csp/home

Here's the guides for LTM: https://support.f5.com/csp/knowledge-center/software/BIG-IP?module=BIG-IP%20LTM&version=13.1.1

Here's the guide on AFM for L3/L4 DoS: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip-afm/manuals/product/dos-firewall-implementations-13-1-0.html

Here's the deployment guide for ASM v13: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_asm/manuals/product/asm-getting-started-13-0-0.html

I highly recommend that you reach out to your VAR that you worked with to procure the devices and see if they can help you get these setup. Learning enough to deploy the devices properly isn't something you can read about for a few weeks and secure a website. The safety of your customers' data relies on proper configuration.

Having said that, if you choose to go it alone, make sure to watch all of the devcentral youtube videos, check out F5's great free training at , and plan the environment out with your SE before configuring anything.

Good Luck!
