Course Description
The Aruba OS CX course provides students with information on Aruba OS CX routing and switching, Network Analytic Engine (NAE), and the virtualization of the distribution layer and core layer of a campus network. Students will use CLI, WebUI and REST API to understand how to incorporate ArubaOS-CX technologies into their network. This course teaches students how to use python scripting to help automate their daily network routine and how to use the built-in NAE swagger to monitor and help troubleshoot their campus network. Students will learn how to leverage the high availability (resiliency, performance, scalability, and flexibility) of Aruba OS CX 8400/8320 switches as well as the design and placement of 8400/8320 switches.
This 4-day course is an advanced level course which covers a vast amount of technologies and topics. The course includes 50% lecture and 50% hands-on labs. The lecture material covers the core topics and advanced technologies of ArubaOS-CX switches and compares this network platform to other switching and routing platforms.
