new setup of F5 LTM
Hi,
I have a few questions regarding LTM setup.
What type of certificates are required for LTM. Is it Device Certificate for LTMs to communicate and also the SSL certificate for SSL clients? Is there any other certificate?
Are there two pre-defined internal and external VLANs that cannot be changed? Can you associate any number of interfaces with those VLANs?
What is the difference b/w floatg IP and self IPs. Do we need both?
My LTM external interface will have multiple IPs for VIPs. It will connect to the firewall interface. Say my firewall interface has an IP 10.0.0.1/24. Can I create multiple VIPs on F5 on the same external VLAN using IPs 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3 and so on. Are these going to be Self IPs?
Would appreciate response!
Thanks,
Fawad

- Cory_50405NoctilucentSelf signed certificates will work, but users will likely be presented with a browser warning that the certificate may not be trusted. It is best practice to obtain SSL certificates from an approved certificate authority. In most cases you'll have a separate certificate for each application/URL, but technically it isn't necessary.
