Course Content
In this one-day class, candidates will learn how to configure and administrate the most commonly used features of a FortiADC.
In interactive labs, candidates will explore Layer 4 and Layer 7 server load balancing, link load balancing, global load balancing, high availability, firewall policies, advanced routing, and more. These administrative fundamentals will provide candidates with a solid understanding of how to implement an application delivery controller.
This course prepares you for the FortiADC 5.2 Specialist exam. This course is part of the preparation for the NSE 6 certification exam.
