Seminar content
The ACE Level 1 course is designed to establish a firm foundation in open networking and Arista EOS. The engineer will progress through fundamental topics such as Ethernet, IP, Routing and Switching exposing them to the ease of configuration in the CLI. The course will build on these topics and introduce architectures built upon modern Leaf-Spine designs used in today’s Enterprise Data Center and Campus environments. Engineers will be introduced to automation and Arista’s CloudVision Solution.Topics At-a-Glance:
- Intro to Networking
- OSI – Ethernet
- TCP – UDP
- IPv4 – v6
- Intro to Layer 2
- VLANs & Spanning Tree
- VRRP – VARP
- Intro to Layer 3
- OSPF
- Intro to Leaf-Spine
- Intro to VXLAN
- Intro to Arista EOS
- Navigating the CLI
- Configuring Core Tasks
- Intro to Cloud Vision
- Intro to Campus Wired
- Intro to Campus WIFI
Target audience
Ideal candidate for this course:The ACE Level 1 course is best suited for individuals entering the Network Engineering Field and looking to establish the core skills that Arista Customers desire.
Job Changers, Interns, University Students and Transitioning Veterans will gain the needed skills to begin their career in Network Engineering.
