101 – APPLICATION DELIVERYFUNDAMENTALSEXAM BLUEPRINTABOUT THE 101-APPLICATION DELIVERY FUNDAMENTALS EXAM.The 101-Application Delivery Fundamentals exam is the first exam required toachieve Certified F5 BIG-IP Administrator status.Successful completion of the Application Delivery Fundamentals examacknowledges the skills and understanding necessary for day-to-daymanagement of Application Delivery Networks (ADNs).WHAT IS THE 101-APPLICATION DELIVERY FUNDAMENTALS EXAMBLUEPRINT?F5 Certified Exam Blueprints list all the objectives an exam has to measure,much like a syllabus for the exam itself. The blueprint provides the detailedbreakdown of the skills and knowledge a candidate should have to pass theexam. Blueprints can be used to identify areas for additional study, and are bestused in conjunction with the Exam Study Guides.PREREQUISITE:NoneCREDENTIAL AWARDED:None (prerequisite to the TMOS Administration exam)THIS EXAM IS BASED ON V11.4.V1 2014
