ECS – Campus EXOS Switching & Routing

Course Duration

4 Days

Delivery Method

Available as Classroom Instructor-led training, Virtual Instructor-led training and self-paced eLearning

Who should attend

This course is designed for individuals responsible for the configuration, management, maintenance, and support of the Extreme Networks family of switches.

Prerequisite

Students should possess a solid grasp of LAN concepts, including advanced Ethernet and TCP/IP skills.

Course objectives

Upon completion of this course, students will have gained the working knowledge to:

• Understand Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and configure advanced EAPS features in a multi-ring environment
• Configure Multi-Switch Link Aggregation (MLAG)
• Understand and configure Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
• Describe Access Control List (ACL) operation and configuration
• Configure and implement CLEAR-Flow
• Understand and configure RoleBased Access Control (RBAC) with Identity Management
• Understand and configure OSPF in a multi-area environment
• Describe IP multicast operation and configure IGMP and IGMP Snooping
• Understand and configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in both Dense and Sparse modes
• Take the Extreme Networks Campus EXOS Routing & Switching exam

Overview

Students will learn methods to properly configure, deploy, manage and troubleshoot their Extreme Networks switching and routing environments using the Extreme Networks operating systems ExtremeXOS CLI. This knowledge will be reinforced through actual hands-on experience with networking equipment in a lab environment, where students will perform real world tasks.
