Helpful Labs
WWT Labs offer a comprehensive, hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology solutions, enabling users to design, deploy, and validate multi-vendor technology solutions. Our labs provide a platform to build foundational knowledge, explore integrations, and evaluate new technologies to ensure they meet your infrastructure needs.
SRv6 uSID Lab
SRv6 utilizes the IPv6 data plane natively to deliver Segment Routing capabilities which dramatically simplifies network deployments. By eliminating the need for MPLS label shims and transporting SRv6 SIDs as IPv6 addresses, any IPv6 capable router can forward an SRv6 packet. This means that you can run SRv6 services over any IPv6-enabled infrastructure. This lab will introduce you to the basics of SRv6 with L3VPN over a purely IPv6 transport.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional and App Connect Deployment Mode
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP.
In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites.
Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs.
Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy.
The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.
Cisco Networking: Configuring OSPF
This configuration workbook lab is designed to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) routing in Cisco networks. Participants will learn to configure OSPF across multiple areas, implement OSPF neighbor relationships, and manage route summarization and redistribution. The lab will also explore advanced OSPF concepts such as stub areas, NSSA, and virtual links. By the end of the lab, learners will be able to validate OSPF operations using show commands and debug tools, ensuring proper route propagation and stable network convergence in real-world routing environments.
F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) Application Security with Terraform
In this lab, users will experience F5 Distributed Cloud Web App and API protection (WAAP), where organizations can simplify their path to effective security without sacrificing continued business innovation and customer demand. An API-driven approach to application protection enables improved collaboration between networks, security operations, and developers. This lab will use Terraform to deploy a Web App and API protection solution that protects an existing application
Ansible Automation Workshop - F5 BIG-IP Ansible Lab
This lab focuses on using Ansible to efficiently manage F5 BigIP configurations. It covers setting up the development environment, working with Ansible inventory, creating playbooks for automating tasks on F5 BigIP devices, deploying configuration changes, and a bonus challenge of setting up an Active/Standby configuration and performing configuration synchronization. The lab aims to provide participants with hands-on experience in automating F5 BigIP configuration management using Ansible.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional Deployment Mode
This WWT Lab will provide a hand on experience of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge in deployment mode. This deployment mode is better suited when protecting backend applications which are already public accessible from the internet via FQDN or Public IP.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the internet through anycast IPs. The end users will connect to their closest Regional Edge and the traffic will be inspected by the WAF security policy.
The traffic will then be forwarded across the XC Global Network towards an egress Regional Edge and then towards the customer site as regular internet traffic. The customer will filter the traffic, only allowing traffic forwarded by the XC platform.
Ansible Automation Workshop - Pure Ansible Lab
Learn to automate Pure FlashArray on Purity using Ansible. This lab provides an overview of Ansible and dives into how it works together to simplify automation for Pure Storage solutions.
F5 AI Gateway (GPU Accelerated)
This lab will provide access to an Openshift cluster running the F5 AI Gateway solution. We will walk through how the F5 AI Gateway routes requests to different models by either allowing them to pass through or, more importantly, securing them via prompt injection checking. We have also added a couple of other tests that will allow for language detection of that input that the F5 AI Gateway can also detect.
