Course Overview

Course overview

This course introduces network professionals to the basic features of modern networks such as VLANs, redundancy technologies such as MSTP, IRF, link aggregation technologies like LACP, static IP routing, and dynamic routing with OSPF. In this course, participants will learn how these technologies are implemented in the HPE Comware 7 switch platform, and will have opportunities to practice configuring these features, monitor their functionality, and design a solution based on provided criteria. This course is approximately 40 percent lecture and learning activities and 60 percent hands-on lab activities.

Objectives
