Overview
This 5-day course gives you an opportunity to plan for and implement networks based on HPE Networking Comware devices. The course covers basic and advanced topics within the HPE Networking Comware architecture. You will work with Layer 2 technologies, such as Multiple Instance Spanning Tree (MSTP) and Link Aggregation (Trunks). You will also learn about Layer 3 technologies, such as static routes, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) with Multi-Area implementations, and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), along with Multicast solutions leveraging Protocol independent Multicast (PIM) in both dense and sparse modes. You will finally experience both theory and hands-on experiences utilizing real world hardware.
A qui s'adresse cette formation
This course is intended for network or systems administrators, network engineers, and consultants who plan to deploy HPE Networking Comware switches into a new or existing network.
Pré-requis
This course is recommended for students who need to deploy HPE Networking technologies based on HPE Networking Comware switches. It does not require completion of any previous HPE networking courses but it is highly recommended that students have networking experience prior to attending.
