Extreme Campus Fabric - Installation and Configuration

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.
