HPE Aruba Certified Network Architect – Campus Access

 

Description

The Designing HPE Aruba Networking Campus Access Solutions course delivers comprehensive expertise in planning, designing, and securing enterprise campus networks through interactive discussions and practical design exercises. This intensive training covers end-to-end network architecture, from initial site surveys and capacity planning to advanced security implementations using ClearPass and Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS).

You’ll master critical design principles including two-tier and three-tier network topologies, Power over Ethernet (PoE) planning, and Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) deployment strategies. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on application as you work with Iris design tools to create real-world network architectures, developing practical skills you can immediately apply in your daily work as a network architect.

Through guided discussions and Iris-based design sessions, you’ll gain expertise in estimating access point requirements, optimizing RF environments across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands, and implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policies for business-critical applications. Advanced modules cover HPE Aruba Networking campus switches deployment, VXLAN network segmentation, Group Based Policy (GBP) implementation, and cloud-based management using Aruba Central. You’ll also explore cutting-edge wireless technologies including Wi-Fi 6E, BSS coloring, and spatial reuse optimization to maximize network performance and user experience.
