Lab Topology & Environments

All pre-built environments implement the Lab Topology shown below. Please review the topology first, then find the section matching the lab environment you are using for connection instructions.

Using Your Lab Environment

You will be using Ravello for this lab. We will be working with a Linux jumpbox, a BIG-IP Virtual Edition version 13.1, and a simulated SaaS application. We will be using the Linux desktop as our desktop for accessing the applications on the BIG-IP.

This diagram shows the topology of the network as it is currently configured:

How to Access the Labs

You will receive instructions from your proctor on how to access the workstation in the lab. On this workstation, you will have the following applications:

  • Firefox Web Browser – For testing the applications we create and BIG-IP management access. Links are bookmarked just below the address bar.
  • Putty SSH Client – For accessing the BASH and TMSH command line of the BIG-IP. The BIG-IP properties have been saved to the session labeled BIG-IP.
