Implementing ArubaOS-CX Switching, Rev. 20.21 (ACSP)

____

The Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) certification is a certification offered by Aruba Networks. This comprehensive course equips you with the advanced expertise required for the successful deployment and management of enterprise-level Aruba campus switching solutions. Building upon your foundational knowledge from the Associate level, you will master the configuration and administration of cutting-edge, open standards-based network solutions using Aruba’s OS-CX routing and switching technologies.

Throughout this course, participants will delve into the intricacies of ArubaOS-CX switch technologies, encompassing essential topics such as fortified port access through Aruba’s dynamic segmentation, the implementation of robust redundancy mechanisms like the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), strategic employment of link aggregation methods including the Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP), and the mastery of switch virtualization using Aruba’s esteemed Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) and the innovative Virtual Switching Framework (VSF).

With a balanced blend of theoretical instruction and practical application, this course ensures an immersive learning experience. Through hands-on lab exercises and engaging lectures, participants will solidify their understanding, making up approximately 50% of the course each. Embark on this transformative journey to amplify your expertise in Aruba’s advanced switching landscape
