The ACE Level 4course is focused on more advanced DataCenter, DCI, WAN and Service Provider architectures. Engineers will explore the advanced routing capabilities available within Arista hardware and EOS. Topics such as leveraging VXLAN and MPLS between data center sites, leveraging IS-IS and OSPF for underlay routing, and Segment Routing will be discussed in depth. Advanced routing configuration and troubleshooting within service provider connectivity will be examined. Arista’s hybrid cloud solution leveraging AnyCloud and vEOS will also be covered.

The ACE Level4course is best suited for individuals with more than 5 years of experience in the Network Engineering Field and are comfortable with routing protocols. Mid-to-senior level Network Engineers and Operations staff will find the skills most often searched for by corporations for these positions. Those individuals holding current or expired Professionalcertifications in other vendor programs will find a refreshed and updated approach. ACE:L4 focuses on the features and skills needed in advanced networks. You will not waste energy learning outdated technologies, approaches or tasks no longer used in open networks.

ACE:L4includes numerous hands-on labs. At time of purchase,you will have numerous options for lab time with both the instructor-led and self-study packages. Most packages include 3-weeks of lab time. For the instructor-led courses, this includes the week of the course as well as two additional weeks to work on labs on your own. Every engineer is given their own dedicated environment and will not be required to share with others. The labs are built on the latest released vEOS and CloudVision codes and deployed in an AWS environment. This allows you to connect from anywhere and anytime. This is actual code and not simulators.
