Netscaler Admin seeks "conversion" to F5

Hi Forum,

 

Anyone got any rules of thumb a past it netscaler guy like me can use to get up to speed with bigip?

 

Eg. Netscaler SNIP = self ip/ floating ip

 

After a cheat sheet, but do intend on reading the docs!!

 

Thanks forum! :)

  • At present I dint find any source, but there this WIKI which could convert your netscaler config to F5 loadable config. Post which you can compare your setup I believe.

     

  • I went through this same conversion and I'm very glad that we did. The F5 has brought us so much more power than the Netscaler.

     

    I don't have a cheatsheet per say but one of the best things you could do would be to 1st go through all of the free getting started training on F5 university. It will give you a basic overview of the modules on the F5. The next thing if possible would be to take some of the F5 education classes if you can afford it or had them bundled with your purchase. If that isn't an option then I would recommend reading through the documentation (don't try to memorize it but just read through and get an idea of how things work/what is possible).

     

    Coming to these forums and just browsing through and reading questions, clicking on one that look interesting is also another great way to increase your skills and knowledge with the product. There are a lot of really smart people and engineers that answer questions here regularly.

     

    I would also check out the F5 DevCentral youtube channel. They put up a lot of great videos.
