Great news. As previously posted, I'd recommend you read through these;

 

 

For the network setup, see here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-implementations-11-3-0.html

 

For the LTM load balancing setup, see here: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-3-0.html

 

There is also a good beginners guide here: https://devcentral.f5.com/tech-tips/articles/quick-start-application-delivery-fundamentals.UOafYzmmv1U

 

Dear Steve,

 

 

Thank you again ..

 

Please confirm should i FIRST follow

 

1) NETWORK SETUP

 

2) LTM LOAD BALANCING

 

3) GOOD BEGINNERS

Yes that order. You got me thinking about this so here's a draft list I've just created which I might get around to tidying up at some point;

 

 

General configuration steps and order;

 

•Licensing

 

•Provisioning

 

•Local user accounts

 

•Remote authentication

 

•DNS, NTP etc.

 

•Other management stuff

 

•Security stuff

 

•Interfaces

 

•VLANs

 

•Self IPs

 

•Failover and Configsync etc.

 

•Nodes

 

•Monitors

 

•Pools

 

•Profiles

 

•Virtual Servers

Good list Steve - when I was setting up some new ones I mapped out a similar list (although where it's gone now i don't know).

 

 

Anyway, the only two additions to this list I had were Routes (we needed a specific route off the box for one pool member) and iRules (not always needed I grant you). Obviously iRules towards the end and Routes somewhere before Nodes.

 

 

Adeel - I'd go with the free WBT

Dear Steve,

 

 

Excellent man you are really great. :)

 

 

Thanks

@Nathan - thanks and thanks for the additions. I will try and mull it over a bit more and post an updated list soon.

 

 

@Malik - Thank you, happy to help.

Dear Gurus,

 

 

We have two Virtual Servers. The thing is how can we get it online. Cuirrent status is not online. Please suggest!
