With ECS – Campus EXOS Switching & Routing training, you will learn methods to properly configure, deploy, manage and troubleshoot their Extreme Networks switching and routing environments using the Extreme Networks operating systems ExtremeXOS CLI.

This knowledge will be reinforced through actual hands-on experience with networking equipment in a lab environment, where students will perform real world tasks.

Upon completion of this course, students will have gained the working knowledge to:

• Understand Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and configure advanced EAPS features in a multi-ring environment
• Configure Multi-Switch Link Aggregation (MLAG)
• Understand and configure the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
• Describe Access Control List (ACL) operation and configuration
• Configure and implement CLEAR-Flow
• Understand and configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with Identity Management
• Understand and configure OSPF in a multi-area environment
• Describe IP multicast operation and configure IGMP and IGMP Snooping
• Understand and configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in both Dense and Sparse modes
• Take the Extreme Networks Campus EXOS Routing & Switching exam
