Advanced F5 Training is Available from Milestone Systems

By: Jeffery Holter

F5 Networks is a nation-wide provider of industry-leading networking appliances like the flagship BIG-IP system, which was originally designed for load-balancing functionality but now sports additional features such as access control and application security. F5's BIG-IP is a uniquely powerful and versatile system, so much so that many F5 customers take advantage of only a small portion of the system's potential functionality. If your company is looking to maximize productivity and security with F5's BIG-IP system, your company's network engineers can enroll in advanced F5 training courses offered by Milestone Systems. These courses cover all aspects of the BIG-LP's operation (including basic installation and configuration), but Milestone's F5 curriculum truly shines in the more advanced topics such as troubleshooting and architecting BIG-IP in an application delivery network.

Milestone designs their F5 training courses for skilled network engineers, and other experienced professionals looking to improve their company's security and systems functionality, so prospective students should already have a working knowledge of common network technology, web application terminology, TCP/IP addressing and routing, WAN and LAN environments, and basic HTTP, HTML, and security concepts. Milestone's advanced courses are for experienced BIG-IT users only, and cover some of the uncommonly powerful (and often overlooked) features of the BIG-IT LTM system. Students learn to perform advanced configurations using the command line interface as well as the browser based GUI. These hands-on courses include lab activities and discussion sections in addition to traditional lectures.
Even experienced BIG-IT veterans can improve their skills with Milestone's advanced F5 training courses. For example, there is an entire course dedicated to troubleshooting the BIG-IT system, designed for those system and network engineers who are responsible for providing support if unexpected problems should arise. This course dives deep into such advanced topics as architecture, OSI layer troubleshooting methodology, troubleshooting tools and labs, support cases, and firewall sandwiches. Milestone Systems offers many similarly specialized courses covering various specific areas of operation of the BIG-IT system, including using the Application Security Manager to defend against web-based applications attacks, and architecting BIG-IP in an application delivery network.
