Lab Overview

During this lab, you will configure the BIG-IP system to permit traffic to multiple backend servers. You will then run simulated user flows against BIG-IP and verify the traffic flow, reporting and logging of these flows.

Base BIG-IP Configuration

In this lab, the VE has been configured with the basic system settings and the VLAN/self-IP configurations required for the BIG-IP to communicate and pass traffic on the network. Inspect the Virtual Servers which have been configured. Note that they are Wwildcard (listen for all traffic) and have SNAT auto-map enabled. We’ll now need to configure the BIG-IP to pass it to the back-end server.
