This course teaches you the fundamental skills necessary to configure and manage modern, open standards-based networking solutions using Aruba's OS-CX routing and switching technologies. This course consists of approximately 60% lecture and 40% hands-on lab exercises to help you learn how to implement and validate small to medium enterprise network solutions. This 5-day course prepares network professionals for the Aruba Certified Switching Associate exam.

In this course, participants learn about ArubaOS-CX switch technologies including: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), secure access using features like dynamic segmentation, redundancy technologies such as Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), link aggregation techniques including Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and switch virtualization with Aruba’s Virtual Switching Framework (VSF). You also learn about IP Routing including static and dynamic IP routing with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).

After you successfully complete this course, expect to be able to:

  • Explain Networking Fundamentals
  • Describe and review the Aruba Switching portfolio with customers
  • Install and configure devices running the ArubaOS-CX Network Operating System
  • Describe and configure VLANs
  • Explain, describe and configure Spanning Tree Protocol
  • Understand when to use VRRP and how to configure it

ArubaOS-CX Switching Fundamentals Training Course in Belgium

Belgium, or officially known as Kingdom of Belgium, is located in Northwestern Europe. With the country's 11.5 million population, Belgium is the 6th most densely populated country in Europe. The capital and largest city is Brussels. And other major and popular cities are Antwerp, Ghent, Charleroi, Liège, Bruges, Namur, and Leuven. The population of Belgium consists mostly of Flemings and Walloons. While the Flemings speak Dutch, the Walloons speak French.

The country is known for moules frites (mussels served with french fries) as well as waffles and of course; Belgian chocolate. Chocolate is one of Belgium’s main food exports. Another thing that Belgium is known for is its beautiful city Bruges. Bruges is one of Europe’s most well-preserved medieval towns and has its beautiful canals.
