Overview

Welcome to the 302 – F5 Certified Technology Specialist, GTM compiled Study Guide. The purpose of this

guide is to help you prepare for the 302 – F5 Certified Technology Specialist, GTM exam. The contents of this

document are based on the 302 – F5 Certified Technology Specialist, GTM Blueprint.

This study guide provides students with some of the basic foundational knowledge required to pass

the exam.

This study guide is a collection of information and therefore not a completely original work. The

majority of the information is compiled from F5 sources that are located on the Internet. All of the information

locations are referenced at the top of each topic instead of in an Appendix of this document. This was done to

help the reader access the referenced information easier without having to search through a formal appendix.

This guide also references the same books as the exam Resource Guide for each topic when applicable for

consistency. Those books are a great source of information on DNS and Global Traffic Manger (GTM).

F5 Networks provides the 302 – F5 Certified Technology Specialist, GTM Study Guide as a resource. The

Study Guide is a list of reading material that will help any student build a broad base of general knowledge

that can assist in not only their exam success but also in becoming a well-rounded systems engineer. The

Study Guide will be available to the candidate once they are qualified for the GTM Specialist exam.

Taking certified F5 GTM training, such as Configuring BIG-IP GTM v11: Global Traffic Manager, will surely

help with the topics of this exam but does not teach directly to the exam content. Hands on administrative

experience with the BIG-IP platform licensed with GTM will reinforce many of the topics contained in the

302 – F5 Certified Technology Specialist, GTM exam.

The F5 Certified BIG-IP Administrator (F5-CA), which is made up of the 101 – Application Delivery

Fundamentals and 201 – TMOS Administration exams, stand as a pre-requisite to this exam.

This guide was prepared by an F5 employee but is not an official F5 document and is not supported by F5

Networks.
