Who should attend
This course is intended for professionals those who configure, manage, and troubleshoot Dell EMC Data Center Networking products.
Prerequisites
The pre-requisite for this course is that, the student must have completed the Associate course -Dell EMC PowerSwitch Concepts and Features.
Course Objectives
This course enables students to implement Dell EMC networking solutions into the data center. It focuses on OS10, S-Series and Z-Series switch features and functionality. This course is on demand and includes hands-on labs. By the end of this course the students will be able to:
- Describe networking technologies and data flows found in the data center environment.
- Perform basic switch setup tasks.
- Describe, configure, and troubleshoot VLANs.
- Explain the importance of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and then configure, verify, and troubleshoot the feature.
- Describe static and dynamic Link Aggregation Groups (LAG). Configure and troubleshoot port channel configuration issues.
- Configure discovery protocols and interpret Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) output.
- Demonstrate familiarity with IP subnetting and configure static routes.
- Explain, Configure, and validate Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
- Explain, configure, and validate Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP).
- Describe, configure, and validate Virtual Link Trunking (VLT)
- Configure and validate Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and list use cases.
- Configure uplink failure detection and explain what it is used for.
- Implement Policy based routing (PBR).
- Configure and validate Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF).
- Describe and configure security features including Access Control List (ACL), Port Security, and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA).
