code: F5N-IRULES | version: v17.1

This course provides networking professionals a functional understanding of iRules development. The course builds on the foundation of the Administering BIG-IP v11 course, demonstrating how to logically plan and write iRules to help monitor and manage common tasks involved with processing traffic on the BIG-IP. Course Labs consist of writing, applying and evaluating the effect of iRules on LTM traffic. This hands-on course includes lectures, labs, and discussions.

Audience:
This course is intended for system administrators, network administrators and application developers responsible for the customization of traffic flow through a BIG-IP system.
