Aruba Design Fundamentals, Rev. 19.41

  • Duration: 3 days
  • Price: $
  • Certifications: Aruba Certified Design Associate (ACDA)

This course provides you the fundamental knowledge for an Aruba network design. This course will teach you basic knowledge on the Aruba product lines to help you design an Aruba network with the assistance of a senior designer. This course teaches you how to read a customer request and extract information you need to design a wired and wireless network. You’ll learn how to use VRF, a tool that helps you determine the wireless coverage needs. You will also learn how to use IRIS to create a BOM for wired and wireless equipment and a basic network diagram. This course is approximately 50% lecture and 50% hands-on lab exercises.

Typical candidates for this course are IT Associate who are new to Aruba and want to learn about the Aruba products and the tools used to help design a network.
