  • Describe how the Mobile First Network from Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, delivers the digital workplace
• Data Link Layer Redundancy Technologies
  • Compare RPVST+ with RSTP and MSTP
  • Implement spanning tree protocol and loop protections
  • Describe how Unidirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) detect and handle unidirectional links
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
  • Ensure redundancy for a network’s default gateway by configuring VRRP on Aruba switches
  • Establish load-balancing of active routing in several different ways
  • Use best practices for implementing VRRP with MSTP
• Aruba Backplane Stacking and Advanced Virtual Switch Framework (VSF)
  • Describe the three topologies supported with backplane stacking and the roles members play in the stack
  • Explain how backplane stacking handles stack fragments
  • Implement and manage an VSF fabric
  • Describe what a split VSF stack is and configure the mechanisms designed to detect and remedy this problem
• Advanced Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  • Deploy ArubaOS products in single-area and multi-area OSPF systems
  • Use area definitions and summaries to create efficient and scalable multiple area designs
  • Advertise routes to external networks in a variety of OSPF environments
  • Promote fast, effective convergence during a variety of failover situations
  • Use virtual links as required to establish non-direct connections to the backbone
  • Implement OSFP authentication
• Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
  • Use Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to optimize forwarding of multicasts within VLANs
  • Describe the differences between IGMP and IGMP snooping
• Protocol Independent Multicast –Dense Mode (PIM-DM)
  • Distinguish between PIM-DM and PIM-SM
  • Implement PIM-DM to route multicast traffic
• Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  • Establish and monitor BGP sessions between your routers and ISP routers
  • Advertise an IP block to multiple ISP routers
  • Configure a BGP router to advertise a default route in OSPF
• Access Control Lists (ACL)
  • Define ACLs and identify the criteria by which ACLs select traffic
  • Configure ACLs on ArubaOS switches to select given traffic
  • Apply static ACLs to interfaces to meet the needs of a particular scenario
  • Examine an ACL configuration and determine the action taken on specific packets
• 802.1X Authentication
  • Implement 802.1X on ArubaOS switch ports
  • Integrate ArubaOS switches with an Aruba ClearPass solution, which might apply dynamic VLAN assignments, ACLs, QoS priorities, and rate limits
• MAC Authentication
  • Implement RADIUS-based MAC Authentication (MAC-Auth) on ArubaOS switch ports
  • Implement local MAC Authentication (LMA) on ArubaOS switch ports
• Captive Portal and Other Guest Options
  • Configure captive portal authentication on ArubaOS switches to integrate them with an Aruba ClearPass solution
  • Implement Web Authentication (Web-Auth) on Aruba switch ports
  • Combine multiple forms of authentication on a switch port that supports one or more simultaneous users
  • Use the Unauthenticated VLAN on ArubaOS switches to provide guest access
• Integrating with an Aruba Mobility Solution
  • Configure tunneled-node on ArubaOS switches
  • Describe when and how to configure PAPI enhanced security, high availability, and fallback switching for tunneled-node
• Secure Device Management
  • Set up RADIUS authentication and authorization for managers
  • Describe the differences between SNMPv2c and v3 and configure SNMPv3 settings on ArubaOS switches
  • Explain how technologies such as RMON, sFlow, and traffic mirroring allow you to monitor network traffic
  • Explain best practices for managing configurations and monitoring network traffic using a solution such as Aruba AirWave
• Quality of Service
  • Describe how ArubaOS switches prioritize traffic based on its queue
  • Configure ArubaOS switches to honor the appropriate QoS marks applied by other devices
  • Configure ArubaOS switches to select traffic, apply the appropriate QoS marking, and place the traffic in the proper priority queues
  • Implement rate limiting
  • Configure a voice VLAN and LLDP-MED
• Additional Security Features

  • Implement the proper port security measures for various use cases
  • Explain how MAC lockdown differs from port security and use the proper solution for each use case
  • Implement connection rate filtering to provide a first layer of protection against viruses and worms
