The GTM Concepts doc should give you what you want:

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_gtm/manuals/product/gtm-concepts-11-5-0.html

 

Basic synopsis for configuring gtm is like this:

 

  1. Plumb it - basic networking.. Link Agg, VLANs, Self IPs.
  2. Establish a listener for inbound DNS queries.
  3. Add authoritative zone or subdelegated zone and add delegation
  4. Define data centers
  5. Define servers in each DC. GTMs first. If LTM, suck in the LTM config, too.
  6. Create pools from imported LTM virtual servers or pre-defined generic hosts with virtual servers
  7. Create a WIP (FQDN). It automatically adds the DNS portions to your zone from step 3.
  8. Celebrate your brilliance for embracing "disaster avoidance," rather than disaster recovery.
