COURSE OVERVIEW

Students will learn methods to properly deploy and configure their switching and routing environments using the ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine 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.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is designed as the first step for individuals responsible for the installation, configuration, and management of the Extreme Networks family of ExtremeXOS/SwitchEngine switches.

MANDATORY PREREQUISITE

The ‘Meet Extreme Switching’ Welcome Series certification is a mandatory prerequisite and must be completed prior to attending the Extreme Switching – Installation and Configuration class. You should already possess a solid grasp of LAN concepts, including advanced Ethernet and TCP/IP. To learn the basics of networking, see Extreme Academy.
