F5 BIG-IP DNS Reviews

If the client wants to clarify that they are using the trusted packet and trusted browsing, they can use the DNS load balancing. F5 can provide some DNS service solutions. The client forwards the traffic, and the DNS is verified whether it can be trusted. If it's suspicious or malicious, it will be declined. If the traffic is observed to be trusted, valid, or legitimate, then it can pass.

F5 BIG-IP DNS is a stable solution.

The solution's initial setup is complex compared to Fortinet.

I have been using F5 BIG-IP DNS for ten years.

F5 BIG-IP DNS is a scalable solution.

The solution's technical support is complex.

I did a POC for Cisco Umbrella on the client side.

You need to connect to the console port, put the management IP, and connect the management IP for the dashboard in the management port. Then, you must go to the laptop and browse the management IP, username, password, and GUI. There is a CLI option also, but most of the configuration is done on the graphical unit. The CLI dependency is very low. For the first configuration, I need to go to the CLI, put the management IP, and connect to the graphical unit.
