Master F5 BIG-IP & Network Automation — on real labs, not just slides.
VedhaNet Academy is a Coimbatore-based training academy focused only on F5 BIG-IP and network automation — deep, hands-on, and built around production-style scenarios. Practice on our free live simulator, then go deeper in real BIG-IP VE labs.
Two subjects. Full depth. No filler.
We dropped every unrelated topic so every hour of training goes toward F5 BIG-IP and the automation skills that make you faster and more valuable around it. 114 topics across 20 modules — expand any track below to see the full syllabus.

Learn on a real interactive BIG-IP lab — not just theory.
Our free Traffic Lab simulator lets you switch load-balancing methods live and watch traffic move in real time, break a pool member and watch the health monitor react, and see the exact TMSH configuration your changes would produce.
- Live topology view: client → virtual server → pool members
- Switch LB methods: Round Robin, Least Connections, Ratio, Observed, Predictive
- Health monitors: ICMP, TCP, HTTP, HTTPS — with interval, timeout & manual resume
- Persistence, SNAT modes, priority group activation, connection inspector
- 11 guided fault scenarios + read-only TMSH reference that updates live
Real BIG-IP labs, your own lab, and career support — all in one place.
The free simulator gets you fluent in the concepts. These services take you the rest of the way — to production-ready and job-ready.
Hands-on BIG-IP VE Sessions
Guided sessions on real BIG-IP Virtual Edition — beyond the browser simulator. Configure actual virtual servers, pools, iRules and WAF policies on live TMOS.
