    Kurs Hedefleri

    • Provision the BIG-IP system for operation • Back up the BIG-IP system configuration for safekeeping 

    • Describe how the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves hostnames into IP addresses

    • Describe how the BIG-IP DNS system can participate in the DNS resolution process 

    • Use DNS Express on the BIG-IP DNS system to accelerate DNS resolution

    • Cache DNS query responses on BIG-IP DNS to accelerate DNS resolution 

    • Load balance DNS queries to a pool of DNS servers and monitor pool health  

    • Configure the key features of the BIG-IP DNS system to perform intelligent DNS resolution

    • Describe the LDNS probes used by BIG-IP DNS to support path-based load balancing

    • Configure a wide IP pool to use a path load balancing method 

    • View and confirm DNS resolution behavior using path load balancing methods 

    • Use static and dynamic load balancing methods to intelligently resolve DNS queries 

    • Use persistence to effectively return one or more clients to the same virtual server on each query 

    • Use the manual resume to control certain load balancing behavior in the event of an outage 

    • Configure and use load balancing decision logs to fine-tune and troubleshoot DNS resolution 

    • Configure monitors on the BIG-IP DNS system in support of DNS resolution 

    • Configure BIG-IP DNS to participate in the DNSSEC chain of trust • Configure limit settings on virtual servers, servers, and wide IP pools to temporarily direct client traffic away from resources that may not be performing at certain thresholds of efficiency

    • Configure iRules on a wide IP to customize intelligent DNS resolution

    • Describe the other wide IP types provided with BIG-IP DNS

    • Configure a BIG-IP DNS sync group • Apply all the principles learned throughout the course to configure a BIG-IP DNS system based on hypothetical specifications.
