Lab Environment & Topology¶

Warning

All work is done from the Linux client/jumphost (client01), which can be access via RDP (Windows Remote Desktop) or ssh. 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.

Environment¶

Linux client (client01):

Web Attack Tools: (Only used in 141,241,341 classes)

Api Tools: (Only used in 342 Programmability class)

Ansible - Automation platform

curl - command line webclient, will be used to interact with the iControl Rest API

Postman - Graphical based Restful Client, will be used to interact with the iControl Rest API

Linux server (server01): (Only used in 141,241,341 classes)

WebGoat 8 - deliberately insecure web application

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:

1 x Ubuntu Linux 18.04 client, with client tools installed - aptly named: client01
1 x F5 BIG-IP VE (v13.1.0.5) running ASM and LTM - aptly named: bigip01
1 x Ubuntu Linux 18.04 server, with webgoat 8 installed - aptly named: server01

The following table lists VLANS, IP Addresses and Credentials for all components:

Component	mgmtnet IP	clientnet IP	servernet IP	Credentials
Linux Client (client01)	10.1.1.51	10.1.10.51	N/A	https-`f5student:password`
Bigip (bigip01)	10.1.1.245	10.1.10.245	10.1.20.245	https - `admin:password` ssh - `f5student:password`
Linux Server (server01)	10.1.1.252	N/A	10.1.20.252	ssh - `f5student:password`

Note

External links are not required reading for the lab, rather supplemental if you you would like to get a different take or additional info.

Note

Replace all instances of <bigip> with the management ip of the bigip1, 10.1.1.245. Replace password with the pssword provided by the instructor.
