HPE Aruba Networking Certified Expert – Switching (ACSX)

Description

This course takes you to the highest level of expertise in Aruba switching. You’ll learn to interpret complex network architectures, translate customer requirements into working multi-vendor solutions, and solve problems that go beyond the scope of a professional level integrator.

The focus is on strategic thinking and problem solving. You’ll learn to create operational plans that not only meet immediate requirements but also account for future growth. Topics include advanced troubleshooting, BGP and OSPF routing, multicast, QoS, dynamic segmentation, and network automation with REST API.

With approximately 35% theory and 65% hands-on labs, you’ll work through realistic scenarios that you can apply directly in your day-to-day work.

Prerequisites

You have completed the Implementing AOS-CX Solutions course, or you have passed the Aruba Certified Switching Professional (ACSP) certification exam.

Target Audience

This course is intended for experienced network professionals who are already familiar with Aruba switching and want to move to expert level. You’ll be preparing for the ACSX written and/or ACSX practical exams.
