Overview:

This 5-day course prepares you for the updated AOS-CX switching-based ACP - Switching certification exam (Exam Code: HPE7-A08). Attending this course will teach you the advanced skills necessary to implement and operate enterprise-level HPE Aruba Networking switching solutions. You will build on the skills you learned at the Associate level to configure and manage modern, open standards-based networking solutions using HPE Aruba Networking AOS-CX routing and switching technologies. In this course, you will learn about AOS-CX switch technologies:



- Securing port access with HPE Aruba Networking Dynamic Segmentation
- Redundancy technologies such as Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
- Link aggregation techniques, including Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP)
- Switch virtualization with HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching eXtension (VSX) and HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Switching Framework (VSF)
This course is approximately 50% lecture and 50% hands-on lab exercises.
