F5 Profiles - TMOS 201 Flashcards
What are the 7 types of profiles?
1) Protocol
2) Application
3) Persistence
4) SSL
5) Authentication
6) Analytics
7) Others (oneconnet, dns, etc)
What is a protocol profile?
It defines protocols such as:
TCP
UDP
FASTL4
Fast HTTP
What is an application/services profile?
It defines the application behavior the the following:
HTTP
HTTPS
FTP
RADIUS
SIP
DNS
What is a persistence profile?
It defines the “stickiness” behavior. Examples are:
Cookie
Cookie pass-through
Cookie insert
Source affinity ip address
Hash
Destination ip
What is an analytics profile?
A profile that defines and collects analytics data.
What is an SSL profile?
A profile that accepts and terminates client requests. Examples of types of SSL profiles are:
Clientssl
Serverssl
The SSL profile configuration is dependent on the behavior of the traffic: client termination/offloading, pass-through, and bridging.
What is a remote authentication profile?
It defines the authentication behavior.
Examples:
RADIUS
LDAP
TACACS
What is an Other profile?
Any other types of application behavior that does not fall into the other profile categories. Examples are:
Oneconnect
DNS logging
Statistics
Stream
What is profile dependencies?
An application and/or protocol that needs a particular profile in order to process the traffic.
An example is HTTP. The HTTP traffic would need the following profile:
Tcp protocol profile
Http application profile
True or false: profiles that operate on the same layer of the OSI model can be configured on the same virtual server.
False. They cannot coexist on the same virtual server.
True or false: protocol profiles are not necessary for all virtual servers.
False. Virtual servers must be assigned at least one Protocol profile.
True or false: profiles used at the higher layers of the OSI model are often dependent on profiles that operate at layers beneath them.
True. An example is HTTP.
It needs tcp and persistence profile, in addition to the HTTP application profile.
What is a profile?
Configuration object to define and control traffic. They can enable certain features such as compression, persistence, and irules.
Where are default profiles stored on the F5?
/config/profiles_base.conf
What is an optimization profile?
Mobile, Lan, wan
