TMOS - Performance Tuning

This class covers performance tuning options with TMOS. Students will learn how to review application traffic flowing through TMOS. Once the traffic patterns are known, adjustments can be made to optimize performance. The lab will focus on TCP, UDP and HTTP tuning options.

Getting Started

You will be using our Unified Demo Framework (UDF) environment to complete the tasks in this lab.

Lab Components

The following components have been included in your lab environment:

• BIGIP01 (F5 BIG-IP VE)

• Router - For adding 200ms network latency between the client and BIG-IP Virtual Servers

• Ubuntu-Client - For generating test traffic

• Ubuntu-Webserver - Hosting HTTP content and DNS services

• Windows-Client - For Wireshark

Timing for Labs

The time it takes to perform each lab varies from person to person. Below is an estimate of how long each lab should take:

LAB Name	Time Allocated
Into - Working With The Lab	10 minutes
LAB 1 - Viewing Application Data	20 minutes
LAB 2 - Working With TCP Profiles	30 minutes
LAB 3 - Layer 7 LB For HTTP And UDP	20 minutes

Expected time to complete: 1.5 hours
