BIG-IP Overview
BIG-IP® Reference Guide 1-3
Like the physical network itself, you can add software entities like virtual
servers and load balancing pools to the BIG-IP, and any properties
associated with them (like load balancing methods for pools). Adding
hardware and software components to the BIG-IP is referred to collectively
as configuration.
Configuration
Configuration is setting up the BIG-IP to perform its load balancing and
other functions on an ongoing basis. You configure the BIG-IP when it is
first installed, and later as required by changing needs or changes in the
network itself. For convenience, the BIG-IP configuration can be broken
into the following components:
• Hardware configuration
• Base network configuration
• High-level network configuration
Figure 1.2 shows how these three kinds of configuration relate to one
another.
