This is a combined course is intended for system and network administrators responsible for installation, setup, configuration, and administration of the BIG-IP APM System and WAN optimaization  module.

• BIG-IP Edge Gateway - Access Policy Manager (EGW-APM)
• BIG-IP Edge Gateway - WAN Optimization Module (EGW-WOM)

BIG-IP Edge Gateway - Access Policy Manager (EGW-APM)

Topics covered in this course include:

• Installation and setup of the BIG-IP APM System
• Building Access Policies using the Visual Policy Editor
• Web Application Access to both http and https Web Applications
• Network Access using an SSL VPN tunnel
• Security Access, including Authentication, client side checks and Authorization
• Building advanced policy checks using variables and iRules
• BIG-IP APM Administration tools
• Lab Projects

By the end of the course, the student should be able to perform an initial configuration of the BIG-IP APM and Access Policies using the Visual Policy Editor Graphical User Interface. Additionally, the student should be able to monitor, administer, and perform basic troubleshooting tasks on traffic processed by the BIG-IP APM System.

BIG-IP Edge Gateway - WAN Optimization Module (EGW-WOM)

Topics covered in this course include:

• Installation, Licensing, and Provisioning
• Compression Basics
• Application Optimization
• Symmetric Adaptive Compression
• Symmetric Data Deduplication

Using lectures and hands-on exercises, participants gain real-time experience setting up and configuring the necessary portions of the Local Traffic Manager (LTM) system as well as typical WAN Optimization Module settings. In addition, discussion and labs focusing on the WAN Optimization Module include editing the Quick Start template and optimization policies to effect how the traffic is optimized as it is processed by the system.
