This Aruba Switching Fundamentals training course teaches the fundamental skills necessary to configure and manage modern, open standards-based networking solutions. This course will help you learn to implement and validate small to medium enterprise network solutions.
In this course, you will learn about ArubaOS switch technologies including: VLANs, secure access, redundancy technologies such as MSTP, link aggregation techniques including LACP, and switch virtualization with Aruba’s Virtual Switching Framework (VSF). You also learn about IP Routing including static and dynamic IP routing with OSPF. This course teaches you to deploy Aruba wireless Access Points and configure Aruba Instant Access Point (IAP) Clustering technology. It also teaches you to configure, manage and monitor the network with the Aruba AirWave management solution.
