Extreme Fabric – Installation & Configuration

The goal of the course is to provide students with the proper knowledge to properly install and configure Extreme Networks‘ Fabric Connect. Students experience the deployment process from start to finish and learn all the essential steps and technologies. Lessons are equally supported by hands-on experience on Universal Hardware switches. Successful completion results in an operational SPBM fabric with L2VSN, L3VsN, IP-Shortcuts, Fabric Attach and vIST Core Switch Pair.
