Lab Topology & Environments

Warning

All work for this lab will be performed exclusively from the Linux Jumphost. No installation or interaction with your local system is required.

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.

Lab Topology

The network topology implemented for this lab is very simple. Since the focus of the lab is Control Plane programmability rather than Data Plane traffic flow we can keep the data plane fairly simple. The following components have been included in your lab environment:

  • 2 x F5 BIG-IP VE (v12.1.x)
  • 1 x Ansible Tower Server
  • 1 x Linux Server
  • 1 x Linux Jumphost
blockdiag Management 10.1.1.0/24 Internal 10.1.10.0/24 External 10.1.20.0/24 10.1.1.10 10.1.10.10 10.1.10.13 (Float) 10.1.20.10 10.1.20.120-130 (VIPs) BIG-IP A 10.1.1.11 10.1.10.11 10.1.10.13 (Float) 10.1.20.11 10.1.20.120-130 (VIPs) BIG-IP B 10.1.1.15 10.1.10.100-103 Linux Server 10.1.1.12 Ansible Tower 10.1.1.20 10.1.10.20 10.1.20.20 Linux Jumphost
