F5 101

Hello Everyone , I am very new in F5 products and I started my self studies from fundamentals in F5-101 . I have my degree in Electronics & Telecommunication . This year I worked in depth with cisco and juniper routing and switching . I have few questions

 

  1. Do I need hands on with F5 dashboard to pass 101 ? how 101 questions look like ?
  2. I have downloaded F5 free trial version 11.3.0 on my VMware, but its showing inoperative as i followed steps provided by F5 , what is the solution for it?

thanks in advance.

    The 101 focuses partly on general networking knowledge and then also on general F5 product knowledge. There are a few study guides out there that are very helpful in preparing for the exam. No prior experience is needed (but probably recommended).

     

    The books by Steven Iveson and Philip Jönsson were a huge help for me in passing the 101 and later the 201 exams.

     

    The trial edition VE is on quite an old software version. You could obtain a lab license which could run all of the latest versions for about $99 US.
