Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will learn how to implement HP A-Series products into network solutions based on HP Flex Network architecture. You will learn techniques for designing and implementing resilient switched and routed converged networks based on the HP A-Series switches. The HP A-Series switches play an important role in the HP FlexNetwork, the only converged networking architecture that spans from the virtualized data center to the virtual workplace for cloud, multimedia, and mobile services with integrated security solutions.
You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to configure HP A-Series switches supporting network redundancy at Layer 2 and Layer 3, networks supporting IPv4 and IPv6, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, and IP multicast routing supported network systems. Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) will also be covered. You will spend 60 percent of class in hands-on labs.
