Very New to F5

Hello. I am new to F5 and I'd like to know where would be a good place to start learning about this product. I am about to start working on this product a great deal due to an upcoming departure in our company. Is there a particular guide or a good starting point that some of you veterans out there can recommend? My background is all Cisco, so I'm not new to networking just new to F5s.

  • Hello there,

     

     

    your best place to start would be a training course run either by f5 or by your reseller on the products(s) you're interested in.

     

     

    If you can access Ask f5, ( I don't think there's any restrictions on registering) there's numerous manuals and best practice articles there which are also very useful. Also it helps ALOT to have a lab unit to mess around with!

     

     

    I hope this is of some help but if you need more specifics don't be afraid to ask!
