Lab 1.7: Create the Virtual Server ---------------------------------- .. graphviz:: digraph breadcrumb { rankdir="LR" ranksep=.4 node [fontsize=10,style="rounded,filled",shape=box,color=gray72,margin="0.05,0.05",height=0.1] fontsize = 10 labeljust="l" subgraph cluster_provider { style = "rounded,filled" color = lightgrey height = .75 label = "BIG-IP APM" idp [label="IDP",color="palegreen"] spconnector [label="SP Connector",color="palegreen"] bind [label="Bind Connectors",color="palegreen"] resource [label="SAML Resource",color="palegreen"] webtop [label="Webtop",color="palegreen"] profile [label="Access Profile",color="palegreen"] vs [label="VS",color="steelblue1"] test [label="Test"] idp -> spconnector -> bind -> resource -> webtop -> profile -> vs -> test } } In order to access almost anything through an F5 BIG-IP, you must define a Virtual Server. The Virtual Server listens on the specified address and handles the requests either by making a load balancing decision or prompting for a logon (or both!). Task 1 - Create the Virtual Server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a. Navigate to :menuselection:`Local Traffic --> Virtual Server List` b. Click the :guilabel:`+` sign |image21| b.
