F5 Insight Lab
---------------------------------------

**F5 Troubleshooting Lab: LTM & ASM/AWAF Tickets**

**Audience: Intermediate F5 admins familiar with basic VS/pool/WAF concepts.**

**Objectives:**

   - Use BIG‑IP tools (GUI, tmsh, logs) to troubleshoot L4–L7 issues.

   - Diagnose and fix misconfigurations in LTM and ASM/AWAF.

   - Interpret WAF events (false positives vs real attacks).
  
   - Complete the most trouble tickets accurately before another team

**Setup**

    - There are 14 tickets waiting for your analysis and proposed solution
    
    - This lab is designed to be worked in teams of two, plus it is a great opportunity to meet someone new, so we encourage pairs if possible
  
    - Solutions will be judged successful or the student may make a subsequent proposal
  
    - Tickets may be worked in any order, however they are ordered with the least difficult first
  
    - Each proposed solution will be approved by a Lab Assistant
