The Complete Kemp VLM Load Balancer Course

This lecture is an introduction to Load Balancers in general. Once we understand how Load Balancers work in general then we will quickly touch on Kemp as a company.

In this Lecture we are going to be specifically looking at the different types of Kemp VLM's or Virtual Load Master. Once this lecture is done you should be able to know the different models of VLMs and what there capabilities are.

In this lecture we are going go through the entire process of downloading the 30 Day trial for a Kemp VLM-5000 and installing that VLM on to the Virtualization platform VirtualBox.

In this lecture we are going go through the entire process of downloading the 30 Day trial for a Kemp VLM-5000 and installing that VLM on to the Virtualization platform Hyper-V.

In this lecture we are going to go over the first thing you see once you have logged into the VLM. Thats right it is the home screen where we can view many great statistics about the Kemp VLM.

In this lecture we are going to walk about what exactly are Virtual Services, specifically how they relate to the VLM's

In this lecture we will build on the previous lecture by actually creating a Virtual Service to act as a Load Balancer for our website which is host across three servers.

In this lecture you will learn about the basic properties of a Virtual Service.

In this lecture you will learn about the standard options on a Virtual Service. Some of these options will be the ones that you are most likely to be tweaking when setting up a VLM.

In this lecture we will go over the SSL properties of a Virtual Service.

In this lecture we are going to look at the first half of the Advanced Properties of a VLM. There are just so many that we had to break this down into two lectures.

In this lecture we are going to pick up exactly where we left off from the previous one and continue discussing Advanced Properties.

In this lecture we are going to look at ESP or Edge Security Pack and how it can be used with the Virtual Service as well as how it can be used as a replacement for Microsoft TMG.

In this lecture we are going to cover Virtual Service Templates. Once you are done you will quickly be able to deploy Virtual Services utilizing a template.

In this lecture we are going to talk about Single Sign On domains as they related to the VLMs. We will be setting up a Single Sign On domain with an Active Directory Server.

In this lecture we are going to start looking at the Web Application Firewall. But there is far to much information to put into one lecture so we will be breaking it down into two.

In this lecture we are going to pick up where we left off from the last one and continue talking about the Web Application Firewall.

In this lecture we are going to go over all things statistics. We are going to talk about the home screen and the graphs you can get from there as well as the Statistics menu and what stats you can get from there.

In this lecture we are going to go over the real servers section of the VLM. There really isn't much to do here but it has some very powerful functionality.

In this lecture we are going to first talk about Content Rules and how we can direct certain types of traffic to certain servers within the Virtual Service. Then I will show you how you can modify the frequency at which the VLM does a health check on a real server.

In this lecture we will be talking everything certificates. We will first be going over what certificates are followed by generating a CSR from the VLM and having it signed by a Certificate Authority. We will then install the certificates, back them up and restore them from the backup.

In this lecture we are going to be going over the physical interfaces on the VLM and what different options we have. We are going to also create a bonded nic of two additional interfaces we added.

In this lecture we are going to take a look at what DNS is (from a very high level) and what DNS configuration options we have on the VLM.

In this lecture we are going to look at Access Control as it pertains to the VLM itself. In previous lectures we looked at Access Control as it pertains to the Virtual Service. This is similar but different.

In this lecture we are going to talk about everything System Administration. Starting with User Management and ending with Date/Time configuration on the VLM. We will also talk about backups and gracefully shutting down the VLM.

In part one of this lecture we are going to talk about Logging Options. We will be looking at System Log Files and Extended Log Files.

In this lecture we are going to pickup right where the last lecture left off. We will be configuring Syslog logging from the VLM as well as SNMP and Email Alerts.

In this lecture we are going to be covering a lot of information so we will be breaking this down into two lectures. This first lecture we are going to go over the Web User Interface Settings, Remote Access settings, and L7 Configuration Settings.

In this lecture we are going to pick up where Part 1 left off and we will be talking about Network Options and AFE Options.

This lecture will give everyone an update on the newest version of the Kemp VLM's and some changes that have happened since the previous version used in this course.
