This exam tests the skills necessary to implement and operate enterprise-level Aruba campus switching solutions. It tests skills of configuring and managing modern, open standards-based networking solutions using ArubaOS-CX routing and switching technologies in medium to large enterprise network solutions.
- securing port access with Aruba's dynamic segmentation;
- implementing redundancy technologies such as Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP);
- link aggregation techniques including Link Aggregation Protocol (LACP);
- switch virtualization with Aruba's Virtual Switching Extension (VSX) and Aruba's Virtual Switching Framework (VSF);
- layer 3 routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, IP multicast, and more.
Questions cover the following Topics:
- Plan the wired network solution.
- Given a scenario with a design and/or customer requirements, determine an appropriate implementation plan.
- Install and configure the wired network solution.
- Install and Configure NetEdit
- Given an implementation plan, explain how to physically configure the switches.
- Given the implementation plan, explain how to configure Layer 2 technologies.
- Given an implementation plan, explain how to configure and validate Layer 3 interfaces, services, routing protocols and overlays.
- Explain multicast features and configuration concepts.
- Explain Aruba Switch security features and configuration concepts.
- Explain QoS Aruba Switch features and configuration concepts.
- Explain Aruba solutions integration and configuration concepts.
- Troubleshoot the wired network solution.
- Given a scenario, identify a network failure (IP mismatch, VLAN mismatch, hardware configuration or failure, port configuration).
- Given an action plan to remediate an issue, determine the implications to the network state.
- Given a scenario, determine the cause of the performance problem (QoS issue, Configuration issue HW and Software, end node).
- Manage, maintain, optimize, and monitor the wired network solution.
- Given a scenario, determine a strategy to implement configuration management (maintenance, auditing, backup, archiving).
- Analyze data that represents the operational state of a network and determine the appropriate action.
