Add virtual servers
1. Add a virtual server named london_mail_vs at 200.1.1.10:993 to the BIG-IP LTM server in the

(100.3.1.10:993).
4. Create an A-type pool named mail2_trainX_pool with member london_mail_vs (200.1.10:993).
Create two A-type wide IPs
5. Create an A-type wide IP named mail1.trainX.com that load balances using pool
mail1_trainX_pool.
6. Create an A-type wide IP named mail2.trainX.com that load balances using pool
mail2_trainX_pool.Create an MX-type pool
7. Create an MX-type pool named mail_trainX_pool that load balances using wide IPs
mail1.trainX.com and mail2.trainX.com.
Create an MX-type wide IP
8. Create an MX-type wide IP named mail.trainX.com that load balances using pool
