    The domain name must be configured at your DNS service provider.

    Say your site should be www.my-awesome-site.com, then you need configure you DNS to point to the virtual IP you configured on the BIG-IP. Or in case there is a NAT device in front of the BIG-IP, you have to use the NATed IP.

     

    If you need to redirect to some specific URL or Directory, you can do this with LTM Traffic Policies.

     

    If you want your site to use SSL you have to configure a clientside SSL profile and you have to have a SSL cert + private key.

    On the AskF5 youtube channel there are a couple of videos regarding SSL Certificates.

Hi Renato,

 

maybe this video from the AskF5 YouTube channel, a good source for getting started, can help you:

Quick deployment A one armed load balancing configuration

It explains how to setup a BIG-IP and how to setup load balancing a single application. Don't worry, it's easy and no code changes to your app are required.
