The goal of the course is to equip students to properly install and configure Extreme Networks’ Fabric Connect. Students experience the deployment process from the beginning to
completion learning all the essential steps and technologies. Lectures are supported equally with hands-on experience on VSP 8400, Universal Hardware 5520s and EXOS. Successful completion results in an operational SPBM fabric with L2VSN, L3VsN, IP-Shortcuts, Fabric Attach and vIST Core Switch Pair.
This course is designed as the first step for individuals responsible for the installation, configuration, and management of the Extreme Networks Fabric Connect switches.
Students should possess a solid grasp of LAN concepts, including switching and routing, advanced Ethernet concepts and TCP/IP.
