ExtremeWireless Cloud - 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.

This course provides an in-depth review of Extreme Networks’ Fabric Connect advanced features for integrating SPBM with other protocols and solution requirements. You will learn how to expand the campus configuration by implementing Fabric Extend including Fabric over SD-WAN. You will see how Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR) is used to optimize routing in the Fabric. Redistributing routes from outside protocols into ISIS is discussed with route policies. Lectures are supported with hands-on configurations.

The Management of Extreme Networks’ Fabric Connect is the goal of the course. Students will gain a detailed explanation of the fabric services and configure these in the lab. The latest automation features are covered including; auto-sense ports and self-forming fabric. And to provide an understanding of the management products that Extreme offers, students will experience on-boarding switches to both ExtremeCloud™ IQ and the campus solution ExtremeCloud IQ-SE (Site Engine).

Extreme Networks’ Fabric Connect is an advanced, reliable, high performance network solution. This training course will review the technologies that support the fabric operation and services highlighting their proper operation and ways to determine misconfiguration. Identifying problems at network Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3 and discussed along with how to troubleshoot fabric service issues. Lectures are supported equally with hands-on troubleshooting activities.

Students will be introduced to network management and visibility using the Extreme Networks management tool, ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine. Using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Network Management Model (NMM), students have these concepts reinforced with a hands-on lab experience working with a pre-configured network. Students will perform real world tasks around the areas of installation and basic configuration of ExtremeCloud IQ - Site Engine.

You will learn how to implement advanced configuration of ExtremeCloud IQ. This knowledge is reinforced through hands-on experience with networking equipment in a lab environment, where you will perform real world tasks.
