Expected 303 Exam Topics, as suggested by F5 Networks :

• Module 1: Architecture/Design and Policy Creation: This section assesses the expertise of security architects in understanding the effects of common web application attacks and the role of ASM in mitigating them. Candidates are required to describe how security policies counter these attacks and identify appropriate deployment strategies based on specific needs.
• Module 2: Policy Maintenance and Optimization: Targeting security analysts, this section focuses on the upkeep and enhancement of security policies. Candidates must assess the effects of policy modifications on application functionality, incorporate outputs from third-party vulnerability scans, and verify that rules effectively address security violations.
• Module 3: Review Event Logs and Mitigate Attacks: This section is designed for security operations specialists who need to interpret event logs and respond to attacks. Candidates are tasked with examining log entries to refine security policies, detecting trends in ASM reports, and recognizing key violation categories to enhance security objectives.
• Module 4: Troubleshoot: Aimed at system administrators, this section covers the troubleshooting of ASM policies and performance challenges. Candidates will analyze policy performance, comprehend the effects of enforcement settings on traffic, and investigate why specific traffic may not trigger violations.

• Module 1: Determine the cause of an LTM device failover/ Determine the appropriate headers for an HTTP/HTTPS application
• Module 2: Determine the appropriate profile setting modifications/ Determine a solution to an application problem
• Module 3: Describe how to set up custom alerting for an LTM device/ Determine the root cause of an application problem
• Module 4: Describe the benefits of custom alerting within an LTM environment/ Interpret AVR information to identify performance issues or application attacks
• Module 5: Identify the appropriate command to use to determine the cause of an LTM device problem/ determine which objects to remove or consolidate to simplify the LTM configuration
• Module 6: Interpret log file messages and or command line output to identify LTM device issues1/ Interpret AVR information to identify LTM device misconfiguration
• Module 7: Determine the appropriate upgrade steps required to minimize application/ Determine from where the protocol analyzer data should be collected
• Module 8: Determine the appropriate upgrade and recovery steps required to restore functionality to LTM devices/ Troubleshoot Basic Virtual Server Connectivity Issues

• Module 1: Architect and Deploy Applications: This section covers several aspects such as finding the appropriate SNAT configuration, determining the minimum profiles for an application, determining which functions can be offloaded to the LTM device, how to deploy and modify applications using existing and/or updated iApp application templates, and determine the profiles and configuration options necessary to implement the iRule.
• Module 2: Set-up, administer, and secure LTM devices: In this section of the exam, the topics covered include distinguishing between the management interface configuration and application traffic interface configuration. Moreover, in a given environment, this section covers determining the appropriate network and system settings (i.e., VLANs, self-IPs, trunks, routes, NTP servers, DNS servers, SNMP receivers and Syslog servers); it also covers n how to configure remote authentication and multiple administration roles on the LTM device and describing the steps necessary to set up a device group, traffic group, and HA group.

• Module 1: Identify the appropriate supporting components and severity levels for an F5 support ticket/ Identify the current configured state of the pool member
• Module 2: Understand the processes of licensing, license reactivation, and license modification (add-ons)/ Identify the reason a pool member has been marked down by health monitors
• Module 3: Recognize when a packet capture is needed within the context of a performance issue/ Perform an End User Diagnostic per F5 documentation and collect the output
• Module 4: Use iApps Analytics to gauge the current running status of application services/ Identify the reason a virtual server is not working as expected
• Module 5: Provide quantitative and relevant information appropriate for a given issues/ Identify a pool member not in the active priority group
• Module 6: Given an HA pair, describe the appropriate strategy for deploying a new software image/ Use the dashboard to gauge the current running status of the system
• Module 7: Identify traffic diverted due to persistence record/ Use BIG-IP tools in order to identify potential performance issues
• Module 8: Identify which high-level tasks can be automated using BIG-IQ/ Verify remote connectivity to the BIG-IP in order to determine the cause of a management connectivity issues
• Module 9: Create and restore a UCS archive under the appropriate circumstances/ Force an active unit to standby under the appropriate circumstances
• Module 10: Given an issue, determine the appropriate severity according to F5 guidelines/ Identify a possible hardware issue within the log files Review the Network Map in order to determine the status of objects/ Identify which modules are licensed and/or provisioned
